Big Red series by Jim Kjelgaard. I think there is 3 or 4. Awesome story about a boy working for a wealthy show dog owner, taking care of, showing and hunting a prized Irish Setter.
Gave me the love I have for red dogs today.

The Jakes

The Jakes
Someone else mentioned Robert Ruark. You should definitely start him off on The Old Man and The Boy and gradually progress him to Something of Value to prepare him for what’s coming down the pipe for us in America today.

The Jakes
quote:
Described by one New York critic as a "New Generation Huck Finn," THE JAKES (definition: a Jake is a young, immature, male turkey) begins at age 13, when a boy is old enough to begin thinking about such grown-up subjects as girls, driving, heaven, and hell; and continuing through high school graduation, The Jakes get into mischief galore. From their bouts with the "fire monster," to their duels with Coach Roach; from skinny dipping to rabbit running; from "haints" in the woods to Aliens in Camp, every reader over 12 will identify with Heater, Perfect, Birdlegs, Deadeye, Boateater, and Rookie. This book is about growing up. It's about the fun and the pain; the heartthrob of young love, and the heartbreak of death; the riotous adventures one dares not tell adults, and the warm close times around the campfire with good friends. The Jakes will make the reader laugh, cry, and just plain feel good! This book is about life. And love. Read it.

If you can find them for a reasonable price, Havilah Babcock's books about hunting and fishing are excellent. They were written in the 1950's and 1960's and published in outdoor life. I think Amazon has a few reprints, and a kindle addition for not too much money. They are written in short story format so you don't have to plow through an entire book.

Those were some of my favorites as a kid. He loved big red, Irish red, outlaw red, etc. Forgot I gave him those. The kid chews through a couple of books a week

Get him Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. That book is appropriate for anyone his age and up that appreciates nature, and it's one that needs to be read by more people.

The complete Gary Paulsen collection,including:

The Jakes is also a must-read

A Land Remembered by Patrick Smith. It’s an awesome book. You should read it as well if you haven’t.
This is such a great book. I read it before I started travelling a lot on Central and South Florida. Strongly recommend for everyone.
