When you go to many of the parks with noted wildlife, you'll see a fair bit of people traveling around with big telephoto lenses. They never need to pester any wild animals at all.
The only time I've seen people pester wildlife in the national parks, was when they wanted to get a close up using their limited-zoom-ability cell phone. (Nothing happened in this case, others haven't been as lucky -- see pg. 293 of this: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/pdfs/mm6511.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/pdfs/mm6511.pdf)

- prawn 9y agoIn Yellowstone, you see loads of people with expensive scopes and lenses. Often, even with the power of a scope, they're seeing some of the shyer animals (wolf, for example) as little more than a blurred speck because they're so far away.
