Best children outdoor book

Any good recommendations on outdoor/hunting books for an 8 year old boy? My son absolutely loves reading so trying to encourage what he already enjoys.
Our kids’ school just had an author visit from Kevin Lovegreen. All of his books are stories about hunting with his kids. I’ve read “the swamp” every night for 3 weeks.

Google Kevin Lovegreen Author and it’s the first hit.

My 6 yr old absolutely loves these books. He has everything from turkey, deer, elk, fishing etc. I get them on Amazon. Winner winner turkey dinner was a good one right before turkey opener.
 
My kids love the “Who Pooped in…” series of books. They like the North Woods the most because it’s got moose poop.

Hatchet is another that I read with my nephews when they were younger and they loved it.

I’m reading Summer of the Monkeys to my boys now, same author as Where the Res Fern Grows. It’s keeping them quiet during bed time.
 
There are a lot of books for kids at the National Parks store. You also can buy them at Amazon, Target, etc.

 

OP’s last log in to HuntTalk was fall of ‘24
 
As a 90's kid, Hatchet and Where the Red Fern Grows comes to mind. He's probably a bit young for the Redwall book series and aren't necessarily "outdoor" books but they are excellent adventure books.

Almost 40 years old and I still can't finish Where the Red Fern Grows. Shiloh is a pretty good one about hounds, too.
 
I wanted to type that badly. I was thinking 8 might be a bit young. 4th grade is for sure old enough for hatchet.
Hell, I might read it again for shits and giggles.
I was thinking the same thing as I opened this
 
I really liked Hatchet series and Gary Paulson also wrote the Francis Tucket books, if they like the mountain man era
