It all depends on whether there are any females in the den that haven't bred.
I'm looking forward to visiting the den in the near future.
Checking the weather forecast Sunday looks like a good day.
I'll give you a call to confirm my plans.

Re: I desperately need help with a question!!!
You may see them for a few days, or a couple weeks, off and on, depending on the weather.
As the weather warms up they will emerge, males first, then females. After the females have mated, they will head out for there summer territories. Some males may hand around until they are *sure* that no more females are emerging, then they too will leave for the summer.
They will come back in the fall, but this is a much quieter event, and you may not even notice them unless you are on the lookout for them.
They are quiet, unobtrusive neighbors aside from the occasional spring celebration.
