Other than bows etc, I think it would be my game cart.  It makes getting animals out so much easier.

Marriage license 52 years ago. My wife has always encouraged me to hunt anytime I wanted and buy anything hunting related that I ever wanted.

I don't have any of that stuff, although I'd like to have all of it. My favorite hunting item is my Jeep Rubicon. I can go anywhere and not worry about getting back, and I get get a lot closer to my hunting area than with any other vehile.

And a lined vest. A vest does not restrict your drawing efforts like sleeved garments might.

Blunts!

Broadheads mean serious hunting. Blunts were made for fun.

Hunting squirrels or stump shooting with a bunch of guys is about the most fun you can have with a trad bow.

My $2.49 pin on compass. I carry two compasses and hunt mainly on public land. I never go into the woods without it.

My Swarovski SLC 7x42's Bows have come and gone...but those have been with me for the long haul.

Good glass is easily replaced, but great glass cannot be replaced.

Long as I can pull this bow
Long as I can hike the hills and walk among the trees
I keep on trying
My goals are high but I don't care
The fun is in the getting there, it justifies the end
So try, try again

I would have to agree with Wingnut and say a GPS, great tool for where I hunt.

You guys have come up with a lot of good ones. But I'd have to add a crestin machine and 12 Bitzenburger fletchers on a lazy-susan and a spine testor.  This helps me make arrows that are "hunters". It also allows me to enjoy the preparation before hunting.
