Its not all ten miles away with a three foot lenes. !!! I just picture googled wildlife photographer instead of wildlife photography and got an interesting result. Dominated by guys with two foot lenes. And one gal. and a kid with a Pentax. Oh and I checked 609.6 mm's is two feet. So you're right! So far I'm overwhelmed by having a 300mm. Not had it long.
