Hunting activity is an ancient practice that reveals important connections with biodiversity. This activity presents patterns of use and consumption that may be linked to sociocultural factors, such as taste preference, land ownership situation, and financial condition. However, the pressure of this activity can cause the decline of wild animal populations, generating conservation implications. Because of this, the research aims to provide an inventory of the most frequently cited species during hunting, in addition to analyzing hunting patterns and the socioeconomic characteristics of hunters in a Cerrado location in Northeast Brazil. The information was obtained through semi-structured questionnaires, complemented with informal conversations. The sample consisted of 21 hunters aged between 18 and 72 years. Principal Component Analysis was used to verify the hunting pattern in the area, and the Generalized Linear Model to investigate the influence of socioeconomic factors on the number of species hunted. A total of 23 taxa were recorded, belonging to the taxonomic groups of mammals and birds, with uses linked to food. Hunting patterns revealed an interrelationship between instruments and techniques during hunting, but socioeconomic variables have no effect on the number of species hunted, leading to the assumption that sociocultural aspects are the main influence.
