climbing tree stands. never used a safety harness and never will. Use common sence and you won't fall out of a tree.

the correct/comfortable clothing for the weather, its hard to enjoy a hunt if your cold/hot wet or miserable

here during archery season its not uncommon to be hunting in 70 degree weather[:@], and i have hunted up north where king of the mountain wool was the order of the day;)

Not specifically, but some of my best investments in hunting have been those items that I didn't go cheap on. I feel like I am leaning away from my father's advice to be extremely conservative, and have been able to realize that "you get what you pay for" in most instances and this has never been so true, especially with hunting gear! Don't get me wrong, I am not likea woman in Abercrombie or AE, noshot at cupcake, but when it comes to my hunting gear, I make a decision as to whether this is something I ought to go cheap on and more often than not anymore, I go with the top notch or next best model........hence top notch, Mathews bow....hahah j/k.

My hunter safety system is one of the best investments for sure though.

I would have to say you better knock on wood (your head?). You can't control the unexpected. I have been guilty of not wearing one, but i started to and will always wear one now. My friend told me one day he was hunting and got caught up on the hunt. The deer came under his stand he was shooting at with his pump and aiming straight down at it and lost his balance and before he knew it he was looking up, suspended from the tree........Glad he had his vest one..

Indiana Lifetime Comprehensive Hunting License, best $855 I ever spent. I write my own tags, I don't have to pay for licenses ever again, and the license remains valid even if I were to move out of state. [8D]

I will invest next year in lifetime if I enjoy hunting this year. No doubt I will but I wasnt going to take that chance and end up not liking it. Also Im tired of having to buy a fishing license every year.
As well next year when I purchase, I will purchase my daughter one. Shes a big outdoors fan!!

Is your best investment in deer hunting so far?

My time. No amount of gear can make up for the time you spend in the woods and the experience you gain. Some of the best hunters I know go into the woods with there grandpa's 30-06, Flanel shirt, blue jeans, and a buck knife, and come out with the biggest bucks and bulls that are taken for the season. The reason for this is the time they have spent knowing the terrain, and understanding the animal they are after in a way you can't obtain from a magazine or 1/2 hour tv show. Now with saying that I also admit to being a gear junky, and we are both blessed and burdened with the shear volume of gear that is available to hunters these days.
