One I always reread before grouse and woodcock season: "The Whispering Wings of Autumn" by Gene Hill and Steve Smith. Written for the Ruffed Grouse Society. Great book that should be reprinted.
"Modern Pheasant Hunting" by the late Steve Grooms.
"The Upland Shooting Life" by George Bird Evans. Read that while I was living in Morocco (with surprisingly good bird hunting). I have Evans to thank for coming home to the States with my first bird dog and my first side by side. Both have been afflictions of mine ever since.
Re the Corbett recommendations: I was a brand new high school teacher and had been assigned to study hall duty in the library. That's where I met Corbett. Fortunately, I had a good group of kids, because they all could have walked out the door on me and I wouldn't have missed them when I was reading about one of his hunts for a maneating tiger or leopard.
