I, too, found your fox kit picture impressive.

While the discussion about the capabilities of the 105-280 is 
interesting, I remain curious about the blind you're using.  I recall 
one posting where, I think, you said you had gotten the LL Rue 
product.  Any comments on this?  Strong points? Shortcomings?  
Needless to say,  I'll being using a portable blind to conceal myself 
and Leica observation and photographic gear.
