First off Welcome 501, good to have you onboard.

That depends on where he was pressured. If this pressure came inside his core bedding area there is a good chance he is gone for the season. When something hunting you is sitting on your bed and you can't fight your only choice is to leave and move on.

If he was pressured on route to a feeding or bedding area he will be less likely to get up and leave. He will probably stay in his core area, he will probably use a diif. route maybe for a few days or he may never return. he may continue to use that route but he may go nocturnal, leaving his bed late and passing that area under the cover of dark.

If I new the exact answer, I'd have my own T.V show <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
