Are you going back out there anytime soon? I'll be checking out Smith Oaks and Boy Scouts tomorrow. Your pictures are getting me pumped up for a good shoot. I really like that 1st shot. Are you using your 1.7tc?

Thanks, folks. BTW, I was able to shoot the blinds without a reservation late in the day. It probably would haven't been as easy earlier on, when the light is better though.

Nice set Bruce. Can you use a tripod when walking around on the trails? Is Flash only allowed in the blind?
