Good to know.  You know there is one in my future.  Which one, I am not sure.  I like the idea of the 2.8 in the 300 and if I can get that in the 400 all the better.  Though I hear you about weight. 
WELCOME FINALSHOT!   though I think that tilts the Nikon/Canon scale a bit the other direction. ;)
Hanging out with lawyers though...not sure that says much about the company you keep.  The older I get though, I can see where knowing one might be useful sometime, at least in an arguement.  J/K  I suppose I have to go log into MM to see the pics you got.  That is if I haven't been completely banned over there yet.   Your last cover on Eastman's was AWESOME!  Still doesn't beat the Grizz photo though.

Wow Pope great pic's!  That Magpie shot is sweat.

 :hello: Welcome to Hunting Washington Finalshot!  Love the pic on the Eastmans Cover of Mr. Big.  I bought that issue just because of that picture.

Good point Michelle...I got my 16x20 print from Tony on the trip of that shot and it looks amazing.  I think I'll frame it and put it in my office.  If anyone is interested, you can go to Tony's smugmug site and purchase that print from him or message him.  It's an amazing shot and a true conversation piece.  It turns out great that size also.  Thanks all.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

thanks guys, sorry for the delayed response, I just got home from photographing bears in canada.  It was fun. . . On the personal side, i'm originally from Walla Walla and graduated from Capitol High School in 1988.  I've hunted much of your state and know some of it very very well, and i'm always willing to talk about my hunting there.  Today I live in montana, it's crappy place so just tell all your friends that you know a guy live in montana and he says it sucks compared to washington and california and he warned me to tell you NOT to move there . . .   :chuckle: 

BTW, shawn thanks for the plug. . .  that ram shot is one of my all time favorites! 

Take care,

Tony
