You are really starting to scare me with the animals you can sneak up on.

I guess my skills as a hunter aren't so rusty after all! ;) :) :D

Judging from a year of his photos, he has a way of telling when any animal is about to make a poo, he knows they're distracted and then sneak up while they're working up to the event.

I rely on my big bushy beard to lull the animals into thinking I'm a Bigfoot in disguise, so that they aren't afraid of me. ;) :) :D

By the way shoot-em-dead, I did have my 400 mm. telephoto on me, plus a 2X xtender in case I needed them, but at the distances I was away they would not focus. :( ;) :) :D
