I'll second Endurance^^ by alfred lansing. Fairly fast read, but mind blowing what they did. Loved the ad looking for crew: Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.
Another good one not hunting related, is We Die Alone which takes place in Norway during the German occupation in WWII.
I dont really care for some of his books, but People of the Deer by farley mowatt is a classic read about native alaskans. Also in that vein Shopping for Porcupines sounds interesting to me, but I havent read it, its on my list.
