Default New hunter - NOT youth! Help

Hi guys... I'm going to make a long story short. I'm a very avid fisherman (mainly ice fishing), but I've never hunted. I am 27 y/o and never fired a gun in my life. (To make the embarrassment worse my wife is an Iraq vet who has fired more guns than I have fishing poles... ouch!) anyways... I've grown up without a dad so hunting is something I was never taught.

People have suggested I start with squirrels and rabbits. I would agree. (I don't want to dive into deer hunting, and I don't have a dog for pheasant hunting...yet).

My goal is to get equipped and a few outings squirrel/rabbit hunting this season, and hopefully progress to something else next season.

So I'm kind of hoping I can get pointed in the right direction of where to go, what kind of gun/equip I should get etc.

Any advice is good advice, and I surely do appreciate it.

Thank you for reading (longer than I had intended).
