To your point about draw wait time etc, why don't you try spot and stalk with a camera in the off season.
Even in a different area, if you don't want to spook up your honey hole. (then again, they could grow accustomed to the scent of the harmless photographer).
It will get your wind reading and approach techniques sharpened up, give you the opportunity to make some mistakes and learn a few things about the animal you're pursuing, and at the very least, keep you in hunting shape!
