very sound advice from all. Another thing that is worth mentioning... Even if you plan on getting a handgun that is large enough to hunt with, find a shooting range/friend/etc. that has a .22 lr you can rent, borrow, or whatever to get some decent shooting time in with before stepping up to something bigger. I'd advise starting out with the ruger 22 as well.
