El perfil del cazador/a social en la comunidad autónoma de Extremadura

Abstract

Hunting is socially, culturally, historically, territorially, and economically deeply rooted in the Spanish region of Extremadura. The existence of two models of hunting are highlighted: public access and economic. Since the assumption by the regional government of regulatory powers over hunting, the government has tried to give the same territorial importance to both models of hunting. Therefore, at present, approximately half of the hunting grounds are public access and open to all hunters. The presence of hunting in Extremadura has led to the creation of many scientific works that focus on this subject. However, only a small number of these works deal with public access hunting. Thus, most works are inclined towards other lines of research (economic, environmental, etc.). For this reason, the following work is presented as novel when analysing some of the most important parts of public access hunting, its practitioners, their profile, as well as the situation of this type of hunting.
