THANKYOU
Well...
  • A turkey decoy is only useful for you if you're turkey hunting.
  • You don't really need a bone saw.
  • Most $80 blinds are not worth owning, but it'd cut the cost in half of a decent one.
  • Slings on shotguns aren't useful for most guys - I only have one for my backup shotgun when coyote hunting.
  • I wouldn't buy arrows at Walmart.
  • A bipod isn't really a high priority either.

As has been mentioned, it's hard to tell you what should be your top priority, since we're not you, and we don't know what you already have or what you really need the most.

Pretty hard to hunt without arrows if you don't have them. Nobody really needs a blind, but they sure do make life nice. Bipods can be nice, bone saws can be too. Sling on a shotgun would be my lowest priority. So knowing nothing else, I'd get the arrows if you can't afford to get proper arrows anywhere else. Second consider the blind. Bone saw is more practical than the bipod, but flip a coin if you like. If you find yourself considering a sling on a shotgun, then I'd say skip that and spend the money on ammo instead - the sling would be a waste.
