Keep in mind archery hunting can be very expensive if you go to the wrong salesman. My advice to you is get on ksl/ebay and buy a used bow at dramatically reduced prices. i found my buddy a used Mathews Switchback last yr for $500, completely set up with carbon arrows and case. When looking on ksl for a bow you want to minimize the additional items you will have to buy. First go to your local archery shop..i.e. sportmans/cabelas and get your draw length measured. If you can purchase a bow already set to your draw length, that will save you money.
Next if you can find one that has a quiver/rest/arrows/stableizer/sights and maybe a case. This will pretty much complete what you need to start shooting besides a release, you may want to go and try different releases since everyone has their own taste. This is by no means everything you need to hunt but starting with GOOD used equipment will save you money and if you figure out its something you dont want to continue your not out 1K. Hope this helps...their is alot more i could say.....good luck.
