6. Very nice.
I wish I could afford some good long lenses. I'd be willing to do all the necessary hiking and camping to get wildlife shots, but those lenses are PRICEY!

35. I used to work for a wildlife photographer, in one of his
galleries. Name is Tom Mangelsen, and this is his site:

http://www.imagesofnaturewebstore.com/

He is a very nice guy, has traveled far and wide to get his photos, but some of the best work has been right outside his back door near Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

I simply destest the idea that a person could find it entertaining, blasting critters out of existence. It quite literally makes me feel sick.

if you had his lens and stuff yours would turn out that way too.

56. You owe it to yourself
to make the trip up here. It's so beautiful. I would recommend May or September as the best months - it's usually warm and sunny those months, not as many tourists, and the mosquitoes are not as bad as they are in June and July. Bring a camera and lots of memory. :)
