Check your local library for books on hunting, guns, etc. A shooting range in your area? Visit it, talk to some of members. You might find one that will sit down and bend your ear as long as you can stand it. Remember, everyone has his own opinion. Its up to you to sort through the wheat from the chaf. Get copies of the Hunting laws for Fl. and Ga. (Wallmart might have them.) Visit some gun shops and don't buy at the first one. The more info you collect, the better your choice could be. Borrow from you learned in school, do a lot of homework. Good luck.
