These were with my RF 70-200 f/2.8 but I’d parked at the bottom of a road and sit very still, they surrounded my truck so they were close.

Doesn't look like you need more reach or resolution judging by these. Great set.

This was just a luck day, they are usually further away. Thanks for the kind words.

Nice photos. You don't want to settle on the RF600/800 f11 for under $1k? I t will get you in the distance game if needed.

I’d thought about that but really have my eye on the RF 100-500 which works with the RF 2x but gosh this stuff is expensive.

You did a wonderful job with your camera and lens. I doubt a more expensive one would have done much better and the longer reach would not have provided the all-inclusive view of the deer and the adorable fawns. Should you plan a session of Birds In Flight then you can rent a lens with the extra reach.
