Eric, you don't need everything all at once best to buy in stages and see what you really need and what you can live without.

You have the basics, gun, clothes and a place to hunt....half way their my man.

Things i would say are a must:
Boots and appropriate climate clothing (Gloves, hat, etc.)
Flashlight
Compass
Binos
Sharp Knife
Grunt Tube (Knight and Hale Ez grunter plus or the True Talker are a few)
Camp Saw (for making a blind)
Scent elimination (Wash in unscent soaps (ivory bar soap), hang and air dry clothes, place in sealed container or bag with earth, leaves or branches native to your hunting area) Buy some spray on eliminator to keep you fresh a s a daisy all day long.

You can make a blind out of natural bush, situate it with the same type natural trees as backdrop. Make sure to have good visibilty and shooting lanes. Take a bucket, chair or seat to make it comfortable.

Things that are nice but can wait:
Good Scope
Range Finder
GPS
Treestand (lock on or climbers)
More Camo
Scents
Rattling Horns
Host of others

I would suggest going with the basics, getting the lay of the land and then decided what you'll need to buy. I have compiled my stuff over years and many things that some say area must I still don't have.
