you might consider asking around among the adults you know as to who shoots trap/skeet,
as thats excellent practice in use of a shotgun, and while many people will tell you a rifle is preferred for hunting a nice bolt action or
semi auto or pump 20ga-12 ga with slugs, used here in florida works very effectively on hogs, deer and bird shot obviously used for birds
Ive got a group of guys I hunt with off and on, and hunting the corbett management area with a good shotgun is very do-able
and if your parents allow, start saving for a
few pieces of archery equipment and/or a decent fairly cheap but high quality shotgun like a 20 ga remington 870
used compound bows , that are a few years older models are available dirt cheap in most pawn shops
yeah, decent quality equipment is rather expensive, but you may find decent used archery or shotguns at deeply discounted prices,
ask around at the local gunshops and pawn shops and shooting ranges you'll occasionally find a few very good deals on lightly used guns
yet,
Id put off purchases untill your familiar with what your dealing with and get a feeling for what you prefer through hands on experience

constant practice and familiarity with your weapon of choice will have a big effect on your success.

several areas are shotgun only
