The news has deeply affected the hunting world: Big Hunter , a historic online store that served thousands of Italian hunters for years, has officially closed its doors. With the cessation of sales and the suspension of publications on the bighunter.it website , an era that has spanned generations of enthusiasts has come to an end.
As often happens, however, every end marks a new beginning. It is precisely in this scenario that emerges Shopping Hunt, the project born from the newspaper Passion hunting, which has been talking about hunting, shooting and life in the open air for over twenty years.
Today, thanks to a team of expert journalists and technicians, Caccia Shopping presents itself as valid alternative to Big Hunter, ready to welcome that large community of hunters left orphaned by its historic point of reference.
The Closing of Big Hunter: The End of an Era
For many, Big Hunter wasn't just an online store, but a true institution. Founded in the early 2000s, bighunter.it combined commerce and information, offering a wide range of hunting gear, technical clothing, and dog accessories . Over time, it became a household name, cited at trade shows and events, and a point of reference for the editorial content collected in the "Big Hunter News" section.
Unfortunately, after years of operation, the company has announced its permanent closure. In a message posted on its website, Big Hunter bid farewell to customers and thanked readers for the long journey they shared, explaining that management and market challenges had made it impossible to continue. This farewell has left a tangible void among fans, as evidenced by the numerous messages of affection and regret that have appeared on forums and social media.
The closure of Big Hunter is therefore not only the end of a commercial activity, but also the loss of a symbol: for years, “entering bighunter” was synonymous with browsing the Italian hunter's catalogue.
“Big Hunter Catalog”: a research that still lives today
Typing "big hunter catalog" or "bighunter catalog" into Google still brings up pages, links, and images from the historic e-commerce site. Many hunters continue to search for it, hoping to find the product list, seasonal offers, or promotions that once regularly updated the portal.
That term— big hunter catalog —has become a highly identifiable keyword in the hunting world: it represents the very concept of a wide choice, a specialized assortment, a one-stop shop where you can find everything you need for hunting.
Caccia Shopping fits precisely into this semantic legacy with respect and ambition. Not to replace a historic name, but to continue its spirit : providing Italian and foreign hunters with a reliable, up-to-date, secure digital platform, managed above all by industry professionals.
Caccia Shopping is born: the modern answer to the hunter's needs
From the twenty-year experience of the Caccia Passione newspaper comes a unique editorial and commercial project: Caccia Shopping . Not just a simple store, but a platform that combines information, expertise, and service.
The principle is simple: those who have been writing about hunting for over two decades know better than anyone what hunters really need. That's why, behind every product page, every review, and every description on Caccia Shopping lies the expert hand of the editorial staff who write, test, and report on the world of hunting every day.
Every item for sale—from shooting optics to thermal imaging , from dog GPS collars to training accessories —is carefully selected. Only those that meet quality, reliability, and safety criteria make it into our catalog.
In a market where many e-commerce sites simply resell anonymous products, Caccia Shopping focuses on credibility and transparency , offering what is really needed and what our editors know in the field.
Fast and free shipping: a service that lives up to expectations
One of the things that most distinguishes Caccia Shopping from the old Big Hunter is the quality of service. Shipping, completely free for orders over €45 throughout Italy , is handled by fast and reliable couriers. On average, packages are delivered within 24/48 hours —a time that represents a high standard for the industry.
Each order is tracked and monitored until delivery . Customers receive timely communications, without interminable waits or unreported delays. An in-house team handles requests, returns, and after-sales support, ensuring direct, human, and non-automated responses.
This attention to detail is the result of a precise choice: to put the customer at the centre , offering a highly efficient service.
Customer service and reliability: the difference is noticeable
Those who shopped on bighunter.it will recall that, despite offering a broad and interesting catalog, the after-order service sometimes left room for improvement. On several occasions, reviews and online discussions reported that communication and response times were not always timely.
Shopping Hunt was born precisely to reverse this trend:
il customer care It's managed internally by staff who know the subject matter and can expertly answer any technical question. Every message receives a clear, timely, and, above all, helpful response.
Those who buy know that behind the platform are not generic operators, but journalists and hunting professionals who share the same passion as the customer. This human and direct approach is the distinctive feature of Caccia Shopping.

Tested and guaranteed products: the added value of an editorial team
Another aspect that makes Caccia Shopping unique is its integration with the Caccia Passione editorial team . The same journalists who write articles, reviews, and hunting reports personally test many of the products sold in the store.
This means that every product is field-tested , under the same conditions as our customers'. Optics, thermal imaging, binoculars, GPS collars, and hunting accessories are analyzed and described in technical and transparent language. When an item is featured on Caccia Shopping , it's because it has passed the real-world test.
Furthermore, each brand featured in the shop has been chosen for its international reliability : from Pulsar , Night Pearl , and Pard scopes , to Leupold , Konus , and Vanguard optics, to Dog Trace dog tracking systems and Blaser and RA Sport shooting accessories . A catalog that continually evolves, based on the seasons and the real needs of the modern hunter.
An always updated catalog: the new "big hunter catalog"
Anyone searching for a Big Hunter catalog on Google today is faced with outdated or unavailable pages. Caccia Shopping aims to fill that void with a modern, organized catalog that's updated in real time.
Each category is designed to make searching easier:
from hunting optics to accessories for pointing dogs, from air guns ai products for sport shooting, everything is navigable in just a few clicks, with clear descriptions and professional photographs.
The goal is ambitious but realistic: to become the new digital reference point for Italian hunters in the coming years , just as Big Hunter was in its heyday. And not only that: thanks to shipping throughout Europe, Caccia Shopping is ready to serve an international audience as well, bringing Italian hunting excellence beyond its borders.
Shopping Hunt as a valid alternative to Big Hunter
This isn't sterile competition, but natural evolution. Caccia Shopping doesn't want to "be Big Hunter," but rather offers what hunters expect from bighunter.it : reliability, speed, customer support, and a quality catalog.
The closure of Big Hunter truly saddens us . It represented an era, a meeting point between passion, commerce, and information. Many of us at Caccia Passione consulted and purchased from that portal in the early 2000s. But today it's time to look ahead: the public needs a new anchor, and Caccia Shopping is ready to take on this legacy with the solidity of a publication that has been informing Italian hunters for twenty years.
Caccia Passione's reliability , combined with a modern and well-structured e-commerce platform, represents the perfect synthesis of editorial experience and commercial innovation . It marks the birth of a new online store model: a shop managed by those who truly understand hunting.
The future vision: information and commerce united
Caccia Shopping 's long-term goal is to increasingly integrate the information and commercial aspects, offering a complete ecosystem where the Caccia Passione reader can:
-
read in-depth articles about the products,
-
find reviews and field tests,
-
buy directly what you have seen and tested.
This synergy represents the future of the industry: combining editorial credibility and customer service. An approach that values both content and product, and restores the transparency and trust that had been lost in recent years to the hunting world.
An invitation to Italian hunters
To all those who once shopped on Big Hunter , we say with respect and sincerity: we understand . The closure of such an important company leaves a sense of nostalgia, almost like the loss of a traveling companion. But today there is a new ally ready to accompany you: Caccia Shopping.
