Great Grey with a D-800 Grizzly Bear with D-800 Whitetail fawn, 30 minutes old with a D-800 Great photography is not about being in the right place at the right time, it is about putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

The Sport should be the better of the two. http://nikonrumors.com/2014/09/15/t...unt-is-now-available-for-pre-order.aspx/ Doug's Photo Gallery

If the 150-600 is "all that" then I'd be down to 2 lens and a considerable amount of weight less. Could you elaborate on the setting and focal length on those 2

I am not sure where in south Texas you are but I know the tour will be in Arlington and I don't know how far New Orleans is but they will be there.

It does have an Ultrasonic focus motor built in so all indications I see are that it will.
