Computer.
This is the only purchase I ever made that DIRECTLY resulted in me getting a deer that I wouldn't have otherwise gotten.
I can look over aerials of neighborhoods and select parcels that look like solid hunting spots,with favorable stand sites. Then, a few clicks more away, I can access the plat maps and find the landowner's name, address and phone number. I pull up the deed and get the names of the grantees. Then, when I show up, I actually have a little info to go on, and that helps.
If I want to plan an out-of-state hunt, I can find land, buy licenses and map out my driving route, without ever picking up the phone or getting myself lost.
In addition to all that, you can use your computer to meetother hunting-obsessed individualson Huntingnet. Awesome!

Compass is my #1. A good pair of boots when going out west in the mountains. Bad boots means very rough and torturing times going up and down them mountains!!

Time. Doing some work for a few folks that got me access to new land this year. For the first time since I took up bowhunting I won't be paying lease fees.
