need help

[conman3300]

well guys I finally got to go spotlighting for anything that moved I loved it.I wish I could have started when I was younger but we never had a lease and didn't no anyone with land but I made friends with a guy who has a lot of land and we used his 22 marlin rifle and shot up some animals. I have bird hunted alot because that's what my dad taught us to do so I know about that stuff but I don't know much about the guns and things you need to hunt game like hogs and bigger game such as deer. This experience made me want to get a lease for next year and start getting everything ill need to become a good game hunter.

So if anyone can help me out with links for guns and accessories and any tips that you yourself use (anything and every bit of info would be great).

one gun I know I want is a .22 because that took down the small game we shot at pretty good but not sure which one to get and what accessories to add to it.

also I see alot of stuff on here about an AR-15 whats the down low on this gun

Thank You
