In the past, and because of the abundance of these carnivores in the area and the geographical isolation of the territory of Valdeón itself, especially in winter, The Chorco de los lobos was possibly an important point of union for the defense and interest of the inhabitants of Valdeón, this is for the villages of Caldevilla, Soto, Posada, Prada, Los Llanos, and Cordiñanes.

To such an extent it had its weight in Valdeón society, that the “Ordinanzas de Montería” were written from the beginning, detailing the system of harassment and capture of wolves, specifying the positions and functions to be performed by each person, as well as the obligations of the neighbors for the maintenance of the palisade and the Chorco and even of the same mount of Corona.
The oldest legislation regulating the operation of the Chorco de Corona dates from 1610, and was reformed in 1776. The Ordinance reflected those who were to participate: Heads of households, males, over 16 and under 65 years of age, servants on duty, more useful people in each household and, if there were none, women would go.
