Steve your first clip of the owl picking up the mouse and flying through the trees is amazing. There has got to be a place where you can submit it for an award. I don't know how you shoot this stuff hand held. The whole video was fantastic. Thank you for the entertainment.

How do you even find an owl in the wild in the middle of the day? That never happens to me. With each video I watch I love this channel more and more. Thank you for taking us along!

You mentioned shooting the video with the Z7 wow, the focus during the flight video was pretty spot on! I have been using the D850 and D500 the focusing is pretty bad.... At the end of your videos I always end up wanting to get out and have a ton of questions for you ! I'm looking forward to your next adventure! Sayin' hey.... Greg

Hey Steve, Thanks for the video. I’m here in the Tetons shooting wildlife photography till it starts snowing again I guess, perhaps November 1st? You got me wanting to find a great gray owls so I’m out everyday hiking and looking but I’m happy with whatever comes my way! I hiked off trail along a creek in the Antelope flats area and came upon a Moose Cow and her Calf but no owl that day. I only have a Sony a7iii with a 200-600 Sony G Master lens to shoot with but wish I had a smaller lens lol.... I think I’m gonna start hiking off trail in the Death Canyon area next? Hopefully there’s some Aspens up there! I am yet to find a great gray owl yet. I’m learning as I go!! Thanks again, Gunner...
