What can people do in the woods apart from hunting?
Hunting is bad. It gives you something to do in the woods but I think we can do better.

I love hiking, or just strolling through the woods. Also camping.
It's not about finding something to do. At least for me, it's about "being", not "doing." . It is therapeutic to leave behind all the things I need to "do" and to just "be" with nature.
In the spring of 2020, when Covid was putting a lot of stress on me due to changes in my workplace, I would go to the woods on Saturdays and hike at a brisk pace. I could feel the tension leaving my body as I breathed in the crisp air and smelled the smells of nature.

Also, if you are interested in tracking animals, you can do so with a camera instead of gun.
