\"China:
Could China provide the market that the international hunting community has been looking for? (Photo: Steve Scott Instagram<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the number of hunters in the United States declines, some are looking to the other side of the world to reinvigorate an international hunting market hit by urbanization and culture shift. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first-ever hunting show was held in China last month,\nand its founders and promoters are hoping to expand interest in the sport and encourage\nwealthy Chinese citizens to book hunts from Africa to Canada. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the opening of the largest potential [hunting] market in the history of the universe,\u201d Steve Scott, an American hunter and television producer, told Quartz<\/a>. \u201cThis is the D-Day for hunting on the biggest beach there will ever be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show was organized by Chinese entrepreneur Jerry Li, who emigrated to Canada in 2002 and soon harvested his first black bear in British Columbia. Li believes that as Chinese people grow wealthier, they\u2019ll be looking for new and exciting ways to spend their money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome To The First-Ever China Hunting Show: After months of planning, preparation, & prayer, our hunting portion of the show opened with a number of curious attendees that were completely unfamiliar with the concept of sport hunting. By the end of the day, however, cash was changing hands as first-time hunters began planning their first overseas hunting trips. It’s going to be a great weekend! #chinahuntingshow #newhunters #china #hunting #tradeshow #hunter #safari #outfitter #internationalhunter #huntingtrip #booking #outfitters #fieldsports #adventuresports #bookinghunts #fieldsportsexpo<\/a><\/p>

\u201cPeople, especially young people, they want to try different\nlifestyles,\u201d Li told Quartz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Li operates a company called WILDER that distributes\nhunting-related content on Chinese social networks. He plans to expand what he\noffers to his 40,000 subscribers by allowing them to book hunts and buy\nhunting-related products through his platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first company catering to Chinese citizens who wanted to\nhunt abroad opened in 2003. Since then, Li told Quartz that there are about 20.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International hunting and safari companies are beginning to take notice. Alexander Oelofse, who was born and raised in Namibia and runs a hunting safari company his father founded in 1975, attended the China Hunting Show to tap into the market that might replace the dwindling number of American hunters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen this chance came up with the China Hunting Show, we\nfelt this might be\u2026 something that re-energizes the hunting market,\u201d he told Quartz.\n\u201cI think the future for China and Africa is really big, and the faster we from\nthis side adopt the Chinese market, it\u2019ll be better for us and for our kids in\nthe future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, however, outfitters like Oelofse can only hope.\nQuartz reports that very few of the 85 outfitters at the show booked hunts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is difficult to say [the show] was a success,\u201d said Remi\nDonnelly, another show exhibitor. \u201cWe made a lot of contacts, but we haven\u2019t\nmade any bookings yet.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those outfitters who did make bookings, they\u2019ll likely\nhave to contend with clients who have never hunted or fired a gun. Oelofse said\nthat Chinese hunters don\u2019t usually bring their own firearms and request that\nthe guide carry the rifle and only give it to the client when a clear shot\npresents itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the lack of bookings and seeming ambivalence of the\nChinese towards hunting, show promoter Steve Scott remains optimistic about the\nfuture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat I was selling was first access,\u201d Scott said. \u201cIt\u2019s the potential that\u2019s there. That\u2019s what brought people. That\u2019s what\u2019s going to bring people by the droves next year.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
