Thanks Dee Dee!
I was using a Nikkor 70-300 for these photos. I did not use a tripod and luckily the hunt was situated on only about 10-20 acres so it was not as bad a walk as your hunt test sounded! I was offered a horse to shoot from but while I used to show horses, I figured that I could get a steadier shot on the ground. Not to mention I did not want the possibility of getting dumped with my camera around my neck
