100 dollars or 100 male deer? No really, it really doesn’t matter as long as its camouflage, if your hunting after christmas( depending on were you live), I’d recomend some of that white camouflage that looks like snow. And if its your first time hunting you probably dont know that it gets really cold if your hunting up north. So buy hand and feet warmers. I’m not sure about the gun, but it really shouldn;t matter.

Unless you hunt in an area where the wind is always from the same direction, I would get some good scent block. Game can smell you coming and with changing winds, scent block is the only way to get close.
The best all around gun for the USA is a 30-06… Depending upon the ammo, you can use it for coyotes up to mule deer and small bears. I would recommend you go to the various gun stores in your area. Look for a good bolt action rifle. Used is OK as long as you check the barrel with a barrel light to make sure the rifling is not worn out and the barrel is not pitted. An honest gun store can save you a lot of problems. They know that if they deal well with you, you will come back for your second gun, your third gun…
If you want to start with small game, a Remington Nylon in 22 caliber is an excellent gun if you can find one. $200 or less. Good for small game like squirrels, ground hogs, coons, etc.
If you are going to put a scope on the gun, do not go cheap on the scope….If you can not see the game then the quality of the gun does not matter. I have a $1700 Swarovski scope (3-12 x 56) on a $2000 Heym rifle. I can reach out and touch something at 500 meters…
And by the way, if you want a semi-auto that in any way, shape or form could be called an assault rifle, you had better buy it before Obama swears in…. He is going to make a Presidential Order which will re-institute the Assault Weapon Ban, naming a lot of common hunting rifles as “evil.”

Try a Stevens Model 200 by Savage Arms msrp $346. It comes in a host of calibers. I have the 30-06 and it shoots great. Capacity 4+1 in bolt action. Add a great budget scope from vortex crossfie msrp $149 a vortex crossfire 3-9. At this point you don’t need an expensive scope you’ll never use. Go to guns and ammo for the review or type in the gun in google search and read some reviews. I bought the same gun and it works great. Total about $500 or less depending on where u get it. Do some research, you won’t be disappointed. Have fun.
