Aperture is the most obvious and what people are always taught when learning photography, and this is correct, but also be mindful of the focal length too, especially if you are close to your subject (say 15 ft away with a 300mm lens, shooting wide open at say 2.8). Your entire subject may not be in focus because of the compression and smaller DOF from being close, using a larger aperture, and zooming in. I would say experiment at home with subjects at various distances and distances from their backgrounds so you can learn at what distances, what apertures might be appropriate to get your whole subject in focus while keeping a blurry background. Once you can sort of figure this out, then it makes it easier in the field when you're trying to shoot something and are constantly moving around with little time to think about things.... I would say if you're up close to your subject and sooting even 70mm+, even at apertures like f/4 or f/5.6 that might be enough to blur your background and get the entire animal in sharp focus, providing the background is far enough away. 2.8 at close range on a long-zoom lens may be too shallow DOF< but again, by experimenting on your own is the best way to figure this out.

Although it's pretty obvious when pointed out I hadn't registered the background effect of shooting down on a subject verses eye-level or shooting upwards. I knew to avoid shooting down but Danielle explained it well. We live and learn! Thank you.
