Living under the scope: behavior affects survival in a heavily harvested and long‐lived ungulate
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The spatiotemporal behavior of game species may play a critical role in their survival throughout the hunting season. Where humans are the most dominant predators, avoidance of landscape features that allow hunter access to hunting grounds can be key to increasing survival.
