Description
Theodore Holsten describes his love of hunting which developed during his childhood and how that influenced him to join the Boone and Crockett Club. Holsten discusses becoming a member in 1986 and the extent of his involvement, which included chairing the Editorial and Publications Committee. He explains how the Club published record books, conservation books, and other related works. He also points out how these publications helped finance the club. Holsten talks about the members who were influential in increasing the Club’s activity, fellow members on the Publications Committee, and the organization’s push for cultural diversity among its members. Holsten also talks briefly about a group led by Douglas Burden—explorer, naturalist and conservationist—who left the Club over a trophy hunting debate.
