Age and spatial behavior determine survival of male elk during the hunting season
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We sought to investigate factors that influenced survival of male elk in Montana, USA, during the hunting season using 4 years of movement, age, and survival data. Our findings demonstrate that use of security attributes are the result of behavioral and demographic mechanisms with some age‐based nuances.
