If I can see it, even with good binoculars... I'm too close.

Yes, I've heard that's a good plan! 400mm at the very least! Well done.

You have to stop slathering yourself with bacon fat.

I dunno... that sounds like it could be slippery fun.

Good lens choice and good shot. (Bertwert to wife: ""Did you bring that bear spray?".... "Oh, I thought you hair spray.")

Try turning the binoculars the other way around - the larger lens should face out...

400mm is a good balance of weight to reach (and cost...) Thanks

We put some bacon fat on the electric fences to teach them about it... they used to try and walk through it, but not anymore...

Thanks Todd, and that's not necessarily a good thing...
