MAYBE DONT ZOOM IN AS MUCH...THIS IS MY FIRST YEAR ALSO BUT I HAVE READ ALOT AND MOST OF THE ARTICLES SAY TO NOT ZOOM IN FILLING THE DEER ON THE SCREEN...AND DONT ZOOM OUT TO MUCH ALSO LIKE ...PIKTURE A DEER WALKING LEFT YOU REACH TO YOUR CAMERA AND PUT IT ABOUT 10 YDS IN FRONT FALOOWING HIM AND THEN WHEN YOU ARE READY TO MAKE YOU SHOT ZOOM IN TO WHERE THERE IS A GOOD 5 YDS IN FRONT AND A YARD IN BACK JUST TO MAKE SURE IF HE DOES WALK A BIT FORWARD YOU STILL HAVE A GOOD CHANCE TO GET HIM ON FILM
