It's far more than a hunting book, but I enjoyed reading the journals that John Fremont produced regarding his surveying trips of the West in the 1840s. There are lots of stories about hunting in it's purest form - for survival. It's interesting what people will decide is good when it's all you can get. He once referred to a "fine mess of seagulls shot by Kit Carson."

Here's a link to an ebook:
