Hunting book recommendations

[superbadd]

So looking to get the forum's thoughts on good reads about hunting. Looking from anything from short stories to full on book. Deer or elk primarily but would also look at other animal adventures.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

I got into them last winter and couldn't leave them alone.
They are more about sheep/goats, etc, but I eat that stuff up.

I am also a big Jack O'Connor fan, despite the fact that he is long gone.

Thanks for the feedback.

Back Country Bowhunting has been recommended , HOWEVER I got bored with it after the first few good chapters. The book starts off good. Then it morphs into a book of half motivational speaker/half marathon runner. He lost me and I could not finish it. There was way to much running/conditioning! And I just got back from my mountain hunting workout an hour ago so I can appreciate being in shape but there comes a point when it becomes a fitness book.
