Meat Eater by Steven Rinella is a wonderful book about his life as a hunter.
American Buffalo is another book from Rinella that not only tells of the hunt but contains a great history lesson.

I highly recommend his book: http://www.amazon.com/American-Buffalo-Search-Lost-Icon/dp/0385521693

This is how I was introduced to him.

American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon documents the story of one man's trials of hunting a buffalo in 2006 after he wins a hunting lottery of a herd in Alaska near the Copper River. This was an engrossing read and the book has a parallel storyline of the history of buffalo and, particularly, human's relationship with buffalo and how it has changed over millennia. As I began to follow the author's story, I realized that it was neither a one-sided defense for hunting an endangered animal nor a biased lobbying of conservation efforts across the Great Plains; the end result is an emotional state that can only be captured by the complex and convoluted history of buffalo hunting that Steven Rinella captures succinctly and powerfully.

If you like Bison, you should see about stopping at the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown then. There's some white (albino) buffalo there, some offspring of White Cloud I believe. Sometimes you can see them as you're driving by on I-94, but there's a lot of information and history in the museum.

I'd also recommend Steven Rinella's book: American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon, which can be picked up at the museum.

I heard this guy speak in Austin a few years ago. The book has been on my to-do list.

Also if you are interested in learning more about buffalo here is a good read. I believe OP's picture is in the book as well as some other good ones.
