You can get a good used Marlin in 30-30 Winchester for a decent price just about anywhere. Shells are relatively inexpensive, and you can mount a scope eventually if you want to and try hornady's new zippy pointed ammo for it, or can use it the good old fashioned way with iron sights. See everybody else assumed you were hunting in large open areas with long shots. Being from the south I assumed you were going to be in brush.
Also Dom has the sage advice if you ARE hunting in open areas.
Either way good luck to ya.

Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 8:15 KJV
"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
