I went, I saw, I sneaked up on a Grey Fox and I got his photo from less than 30 feet! :)

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

 :) Here's one that I got with my 17-40 wide angle lens at a distance of 8 feet or less:

OK guys, watch it out in the woods if nature calls and Grandpa's around with his camera.
No respect to privacy...   :chuckle: :chuckle:

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
