Good boots
A decent rifle well sighted in.
Spend more on the scope than you did on the rifle.
Good binoculars.
A sharp knife.
Layers of clothing to match the weather.
A good first aid kit.
A good fire starting kit.
A small flashlight.
A day pack
A container of drinking water.
I consider those the bare minimum and you will need them in any type of country. You will add to that list as you hunt farther from your vehicle or further from help.
