Not about hunting, just in general.

Interesting, that one popped into my head first as well. But I've read a lot of books, have to give this some thought.

Not counting the Bible of course . . . "How to Win Friends and Influence People" - Dale Carnegie
"All that the South has ever desired was that the Union, as established by our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth." – Robert E. Lee

Not sure I can narrow it to one. Old Breed is a good one though for sure Bristoe. It was one of the required readings in my Pacific War course in college. Lately I've become a huge fan of the personal accounts such as Unbroken, Lone Survivor, American Sniper, etc. Unbroken might be my favorite of that group.
Ask me again tomorrow though. You may get a different answer.

One of my all time favorites was Martin Eden, by Jack London
Founder
Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester
"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

I'll have to check that one out! Currently in the middle of "The Diary of a Napoleonic Foot Soldier," by Jakob Walter. He talks about the Grand Armee scavenging off the European Countryside and quartering themselves wherever they could.

Fields of Fire and one that I can't remember the name of. It was written by a German soldier on the Eastern Front.
