WOW! Love this, Joe! I recently went to a Feline Rescue Center for large cats and was definitely not allowed inside at all! In fact, shooting was very challenging with the cats in large wired enclosures. You are so lucky...And don't you love your 300? I did, but found that I needed more reach and just traded it for a 500. Anyway, congratulation on a marvelous capture! #9869435
