I hear ya on the end of the season blues. Next Saturday the 14th ends archery season here in PA. I'm taking as much vacation as I possibly can for the first two weeks of this new year.

There are plenty of things you can do in the offseason, but nothing nearly as fun and exciting as hunting deer. I'm not familiar with WI hunting laws, but what I plan on doing is hunting coyotes (no closed season in PA). If you have one of those indoor target ranges with the projection screen that you can shoot at, that'll waste some more time. If you have your own land that you hunt on try putting in some food plots in the spring or cut trails to your stands. If you are hunting by permission, see if the owner will let you fix up their land. There are a lot of really good people who might not be averse to this idea, especially if you offer to help them out withsome workthat they need done. Lastly, put out some corn or molasses blocks and stick a trail cam right over it to get some photos of your deer. Maybe you can go looking for sheds too. Just some ideas...
