Henry Holt and Company purchased the magazine in 1951. Holt eventually ended up being owned by CBS, which sold their magazines in a leveraged buyout, led by division head Peter Diamandis, to the Times-Mirror Company, which in turn sold their magazines to Time, Inc. in 2001. Field and Stream was one of 18 magazines sold to Bonnier Group in February 2007.
