We compared space use, movements, roost fidelity, and habitat use of toms in a hunted population to a non‐hunted population. We found that toms in the hunted population maintained smaller home ranges once hunting began but this reduction was temporary. We found no differences in movements, but toms in the hunted population had greater fidelity to roost sites. Toms in the non‐hunted population selected openings and secondary roads, whereas males in the hunted population exhibited the reverse pattern until hunting ended. Our findings contribute to a growing body of literature suggesting that toms react to hunting activity by altering their behaviors, but these alterations appear temporary.
