Last year I left a blind up far into the winter after season. I'd dress warm and go sit in it sometimes (snowshoe out to it - although it gets damp cold in them charcoal coated blinds because your breath moisture does not go out of them easy) and watch snowshoe rabbits, squirrels, grouse, and occasionally the turkeys came in. I'd throw a little corn out there to excite them and then watch them interact.

Just being in the woods is as good as hunting. I have gotten to a stage in my life where if I do not get game, that's not the end of the world. When I was young, I seemed to take it personal if I got skunked for the season. Now I just look at it as I don't have to butcher and do all the work that comes with it. Although I sure don't mind some good eating meat either.
