Also you don't need super-teles to shoot animals, pic related, get closer to your subject and learn how to stalk and use stealth......we didn't get damn near to the top of the food chain by asking our prey to kill itself, we stalked it for 6 million years before we surprised it. make small subtle movements, stay quiet and low, I've had deer like that one I shot walk right up to me at arms length almost while waiting for clouds in a field, that particular animal was within 5 feet of me at one time and
I didn't want to startle it by doing a lens change.
pro-tip: wait, usually the animals will come to you out of sheer curiosity if you hold still long enough
