If they view humans as a threat you will never see them during the day. It depends on thier previous interaction with humans. If they get shot at or are watching thier friends get shot they adapt. Mine come right out in the middle of the day and lounge on a turtle platform for photo sessions. Can't shoot them here. They look all friendly and playful until they fel threatened and then you have a mini wolverine on your hands, or biting them.
The beavers have a den and a home pond. The otters have a range, up to 30 miles, and will take over abandoned beaver dens. People call me, frog get rid of my otters, beavers. I can't.
