Hunting regulation in Castilla y León
Overview
The regional government of Castilla y León has implemented new regulations for the 2026 medium hunting season. Initially, the Junta de Castilla y León issued Order AGR/743/2026, which authorized the harvest of the European turtle dove in 682 designated estates. This measure, approved by the European Commission due to stable local population trends, requires hunters to use a mandatory electronic capture-recording system known as CAPTURCYL.
Following the opening of the mid-season hunting period on August 15, the regional government announced plans for broader legislative reforms. Counselor Joaquín Antonio Pino indicated intentions to simplify regulations and reduce bureaucracy through dialogue with hunting associations. Proposed changes include making the digital seal voluntary and establishing new rules for thermal and night vision devices. Meanwhile, the Federation of Hunting of Castilla y León is seeking to have the ‘media veda’ hunting period recognized as a ‘Bien de Interés Cultural’ (Asset of Cultural Interest).
