The research analysed the space-use and habitat-preference characteristics of red deer (Cervus elaphus) in the Sopron Mountains, Hungary, utilising high-resolution Global Positioning System (GPS) telemetry data and two distinct land-cover databases. Hourly location data from 10 individuals were processed using the minimum convex polygon (MCP) and kernel home range (KHR) methods. Additionally, a relative stability index (RSI) was developed to describe seasonal shifts in area use. Significant sexual dimorphism was identified in the extent of annual home ranges: the mean space use of stags (3381 ha) significantly exceeded that of hinds (1391 ha). Geomatical analyses highlighted the seasonality of space use: the smallest extent was recorded in June, and shifts in home ranges within a single year were significant, while the winter period exhibited the least seasonal variation. Regarding habitat selection, significant seasonality was observed in hinds, reflecting temporal changes in resource availability, whereas this pattern was not observed in stags. The study concluded that the applied methods are appropriate for gathering baseline information; however, integrating high-precision databases is essential for accurate modelling of deer–forest interactions.
