Here is a photo I took last deer season (10-13) testing out that lens. There's nothing special about the photo. I was just testing in low light. I had to edit my initial post because I'm not sure how much day light was left but I think it was getting pretty close to dark. I can't seem to find the shots I actually took late in November but the lens worked well for me in this application.
This was taken with the XTi and 70-200 F4 IS. ISO 1600 f7.1
1/160
