Christina Holden
Christina discovered hunting several years ago, after realizing her dad and two brothers were having too much fun in the woods, duck blinds and goose pits. Born and raised on Maryland's Eastern Shore, she hunts deer and waterfowl extensively where her family hunts on their own property as well as lands they lease. Her desire to explore outside of the east led her to buy into a cabin with family and friends in Colorado. Since then, she has claimed mule deer, antelope and has broadened her experience with a recent hunt to Africa. Christina works with Jim Zumbo on a wounded warrior program, where she plans, coordinates and assists with all logistics for disabled veterans on hunting trips around the country and the world. At this point, she has assisted on a dozen hunts and has many more in the works. Stay tuned as Christina's involvement in the hunting industry continues to expand!
