I have spent some early mornings (starting just before sunrise) at a lek recently, with a white sheet covering me as a blind.  It works in snow.

I can get as close as 30 feet away from the birds if I would like. They wander about sometimes coming with 5-10 feet away. Especially if a female gets close to me - the males will rush over to dance.
