Abstract

Leisure or business? Is it the hunt a really profitable activity? If it is like that, who are the biggest beneficiaries? How it has influenced in the most disadvantaged rural zones? Here there are some of the questions about economic and social reality of hunting, and its answers are tried to be approached in this work, for a confirmed hunting tradition zone as «Los Montes de Toledo», in the province of the same name, where are placed the most of the best major hunting areas in the Toledo province. The Mounts of Toledo, due to its excellent natural resources for the hunting and to the crisis of the agrarian traditional utilizations, constitute an area where the major hunt is the most adapted use to contribute to the biological balance with a rational management.
