it all comes down to HOW bad it was spooked, HOW it feels afterwards
or maybe come down to HOW Hungry it is
a bait station is there 24/7, many spooked bears will just come back at night is scared of you being there
they will also be more prone to be scent checking better too, if they know it was a HUMAN that spooked them!
so watch down wind direction even more, and do all you can on scent control to up your odds
IF you have other bait stations, give this one a few days off too, never hurts, to build back there confidence at a site
