    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks to all. Nope, wasn't feeding her anything. This was the first day I saw her, but from past experience with coyotes I know that they tend to work hunting patterns. I picked her up and did shots of her for three consecutive days. By the third day she did start to get use to me and actually moved in closer than the 6 ft minimum focus distance for the Canon EF 100-400. I wish I had that problem all the time. Just as a couple of us picked her up on the third day a stupid ranger actually stopped and chased her off throwing rocks at her. Did I ever want to kick a ranger's .....

    I shoot Canon. It was taken with a 100-400 and probably close to the 400. She was close so it may have been a little less.

    Thanks, Gus. I really enjoyed our chats as well. Hope to see you again at a shootout. ...or better yet, I would love to make it to Australia one of these days.
