I have for years used carbon fiber arrow shafts of various lengths, and velcro strips to hold vegetation out of the way or to help keep things from moving. Threaded inserts are available to insert in shafts and make up whatever length is needed then disassemble and they all fit nicely in my rear pouch on vest. They are very light. When photographing hummers I often use them to separate the flower stems and hold the blossoms in the correct plane so that multiple flowers do not block each other and also turn them so they face the direction you need for lighting.

It is a mistake to use legislation as an argument. Legislation is an emotional result often in the face of logic. Consider the recently abondoned multi-year harrassmement of Pit Bulls by Ontario.
It increased dog bites.

No one is using legislation as an argument for anything. Read the whole post it's about spreading disease to other animals in other places.

I think some of you folks missed something when you read the article in the link. The expert spoke of no diseases spread to raptors by feeding, in the next sentence told you about the legislation being proposed because of CWD ( chronic wasting disease). I mentioned this back in the beginning of this thread. I have talked to photographers who were photographing eagles, both golden and bald (raptors). They were using road killed deer for the bait, which required a permit from the state. This year there are no more permits because of the risk of spreading CWD. The raptor whichever species, eats an infected animal travels hundreds of miles on a migration route and spreads feces throughout how many states and increases the risk of disease being spread to other animals. I mention this again to caution folks to use common sense when reading information about this subject.

Super shots Bill, are you happy with the new lens after using it a while? Why is that hummer sticking her tongue out at you.

Great work with the Monarchs Angela and nice photos as always. Sorry to see you leave, but understand. I have enjoyed all your wonderful posts and am grateful for the positive comments you have given me.

DEET will dissolve many things and remove printing on most things. That is because it's chemical make up puts it in the toluene family of chemicals which are strong solvents.
As such when applied to the skin 56 percent will be absorbed through the skin and 17 percent will enter the blood stream and internal organs. With your health history it would be much safer for you to apply a permethrin based product to the outside surface of your clothes and let dry for several hours before wearing. Sawyer makes a good product I use in tick infested areas and it works great and lasts for weeks. If I were using DEET I would apply to clothes not my skin. Learned about DEET many years ago working in a bog in Canada with a view camera and it dissolved the bellows on my Linhoff camera.
