    I have used the Ameristep blinds in my setup for several years. They are inexpensive, very light and easy to use.

    I bet a blind and a couple of decoys will have the birds coming in close!

    Awesome tip Joel, I saw that one of the blinds looks a bit like Swamp Thing LOL! The Kwik Camo looks like a light weight and pretty good setup.

    yes .... I was using a tripod but I have used the 500 + 2X TC hand held......very difficult due to the slow AF and only the center point being available

    This is an image I posted before. It was taken at 1000mm hand held but I find it very hard to hold steady for more than a few seconds and with the slow autofocus it is a low percentage shot. It can be done and in good light the images will be fine even on a crop sensor (actually it could be better due to more pixels on the subject) It is a heavy rig and with the magnification I can only hold it on target for brief intervals.
