The fact of the matter is, I don't need a ginormous telephoto lens in my life. Most of my shooting is pretty easily covered by a typical 24-105 mm zoom lens, and nearly all of my lenses fall within that focal range. So, I guess you could say I felt a little under equipped on my first trip to Wyoming. At the time, I was shooting with a Nikon D300, and my biggest gun was an old 180 mm f/2.8 from the film days that I purchased second hand. Most of the other photographers I saw were toting some seriously long glass. C'est la vie... I buried my head in the viewfinder and did my best to snag a few memorable images. In my opinion, that old 180 is definitely a classic.
