Chuck,
I am actually in Hollywood (right between Miami and Fort Lauderdale)
However if you wanted to give the 14-150 a try you are more than welcome.
There is a Panther preserve out on Alligator Alley around mile marker 80. I
have always wanted to head out there with the 90-250 and shoot some Panthers.
Mark

And I'm in southwest Florida probably still a long way away from your presumed
location somewhere around Miami? Chuck Norcutt On 2/16/2014 2:29 PM, DZDub
