I got to sit in on a symposium given by Wayne Van Zwoll quite a few years ago. It was a great little class small enough for Wayne to fully interact with anyone with a comment or question. He pretty much inspired the whole class to share personal hunting stories, methods and equipment. He's a great guy who's absolutely dedicated to anything regarding rifles, cartridges, reloading and hunting. Though not having anything to do with shotguns, I think these two titles by Wayne Van Zwoll you'll enjoy:
The Hunter's Guide To Accurate Shooting and Elk Rifles, Cartridges and Hunting Tactics Another book I'd also suggest is an old one: "Mr. Rifleman," by Col. Townsend Whelen and Bradford Angier. It's an absolute classic, but sometimes hard to find. |

Mister Rifleman:
Not only hard to find, a little bit pricey too. Amazon only had three hits for it, $30 to $60 used depending on condition. |

Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns by Jack O'Connor. Dated but most content is still valid today.

Go to your local public library and read everything they have. That 'everything' will very likely be far more than you'd think.
There's a swarm of "Hunter's Bible" books on Amazon or in your local gun shop too.

I think Bob Brister wrote the bible on shotgunning.
