Below is a small article from 1900 regarding the hunting possibilities in China. It is worth knowing that this is the year in which the Boxer Uprising was in full effect and foreigners were besieged in Peking.
According to a correspondent in the Washington Star, China is the last great game preserve in the world. Many will be surprised to learn that, notwithstanding the dense population of China and the centuries since the country bas become thickly populated. It is still the best stocked with game of any country in the world.
Even in the regions about Peking, now occupied by the allied troops, where villages dot the plains every mile or two and the population exceeds 2,000 to the square mile, wolves, foxes, raccoons, weasels and rabbits are so thick as to be pests, while such game us pigeons, quail, grouse and ricebirds are found in immense flocks. The wolves of China are particularly numerous and fearless, and many lives are lost every winter from their depredations.
