I bow that I paid 25 cents (.25) for and shot a fox with it that season.

Everything I hunt with; my Hills, wool, camp gear, & knives. My best money spent w/o doubt is my Eureka A-frame backpack tent. Used & repaired it now for 25 years in every kind of weather.

Compass and matches.  One gets me in and out of the woods safely.  The other keeps me warm when I have to stay in the woods overnight, or the weather takes a really ugly turn.

I did exactly the same thing for myself and my son and I agree those licenses are the best hunting purchases I ever made.   :readit:

1) Pendleton wool shirts (when they were made in the US)
2) A SIL Tarp for emergency/inclimate weather shelter
3) A set of German military binoculars- they were still made with Zeiss glass, but because nobody can spell the name (Hensoldt Wetzlar), so you can find them on Epay for less than $150.  Nitrogen purged, armor coated, and auto focus, plus Zeiss-Gruppe glass

The first copy of TBH magazine I ever saw.  That started the whole thing.

After that, time.  Time learning to bowhunt, time teaching my kids and wife to shoot bows.  Time relaxing on stand.

As for actual gear.  Gotta go with my Niff-T-Seat first and my Double Bull Matrix blind second.  I use the Niff-T-Seat all the time and the DB blind whenever the kids want to go along.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

The $$$$$ I spent that helped me "come out of my cave"(quote The Frugal Archer Jeff Struberg" joining the rest of the gang at the original LW. I've learned so much more about every aspect of traditional archery but the most important part is the priceless friendships that have gotten started here. I've gotten to meet some of you in person, others only in cyber fashion but all are cherished. Another big plus is I'm still learning and enjoying the ride. The folks on here are...well let's just say I am so very blessed. I don't care if you only joined us yesterday, you start at that moment being one of my family!
When I 1st started there's no telling how many times a day I had something to say but over the years I say less. If anyone ever finds a more caring group please let me know because I want in on it too.The saying that "No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care" has been fulfilled right here some many times.
Thank you! Thank you! and God bless!!
