Doug, I had the same thoughts even though I have very little  
experience in WL photography. When I go out and dabble I find that  
the longer the lens (2x with 400 telyt my longest possibility) in  
addition to the movement and trying to find the critter through the  
tunnel - Increasing the distance seems to put more stuff than just  
heat waves (foliage, etc.) between me and the subject. Even with  
large critters, like deer , they all seek cover very well. Maybe just  
because I'm in Wisconsin - too many hills and trees - maybe a machete  
and chain saw also come with it ; ^ )
