Bass pro has a lot of ready to hunt packages. I'd suggest you go shoot a few of them and see what feels right. PSE, bear, diamond, mission, even the redhead bows (which are just rebadged diamonds usually a little cheaper) all good packages. Get a starter ready to hunt package and upgrade as you shoot and learn more.

I recommend the same thing. Get a cheaper starter package thats already rigged up for hunting.
OR....
Look online, specifically the classifieds on ArcheryTalk.com. Find a higher quality used bow thats already rigged up and buy it. Its regulated and its a safe place to buy bows.
However, you might want to check out a archery pro shop first so they can measure you for your draw length and you can figure out your draw weight. If you're a normal sized guy, I would recommend starting out with a 50-60lb. bow, even if you can pull back more poundage than that. Even if you're a really strong guy, archery uses a unique combination of muscles that nothing else uses, and it will take a while to condition the right muscles to work together in unison.
