Heading north for the second week of deer season here in Ontario in less than 2 weeks. I will end each day with a bit of reading and I'd love to treat myself to a new book to take up with me. What would you recommend?

I'd prefer it to be about hunting or at least a wilderness adventure of some sort. The only catch is I leave in 12 days so a book out of print ordered on Amazon or similar won't likely arrive in time. And call me old fashioned but an e-book just seems wrong at camp. That limits me to something I can source at a local bookseller unless one of you chaps cares to sell or rent me one ;)

All suggestions are welcome.
 
Along the Hunter's Path - Kai-Uwe Denker.

Along the Hunter’s Path deals with thoughts and hunting experiences on the African continent in three separate parts. Part 1 recounts diverse hunting experiences in Namibia, Mozambique, Cameroon and Tanzania with the Big Five, as well as Greater and Lesser Kudu, Gerenuk, Bongo and other game. Part 2 deals mainly with elephant hunting in one of the most remote areas of Namibia, the East-Kavango. In the third part, thoughts about hunting in general and in our time are expressed.

I've been reading Born to the Wild by Rob Kaye. It's been a fairly interesting read so far.

Here's the synopsis on it if interested -

In Born to the Wild – Journals of a National Park Warden in the Canadian Rockies, former Park Warden Rob Kaye recounts his boyhood adventures growing up in Jasper National Park and his experiences as a warden patrolling the vast mountain wilderness that he called home. Kaye gives a vivid account of wardens' lives in the park. He describes backcountry encounters with wolves, bears, bighorns, and other wildlife, as well as accounts of survival and tales of adversity. Kaye relates heartfelt and humorous stories about the backcountry wardens’ most trusted companions—the riding and pack horses that shared their high country travels. The author’s passion for the preservation and protection of wilderness and wildlife is a theme that runs throughout the book. Kaye invites the reader to ponder the future of our national parks. In reflecting on his career with the Warden Service, he illustrates how the few remaining (and no longer pristine) wild spaces are threatened by over-use, commercial development, habitat loss, and climate change.
