Looking at renting the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM for the goose hunt.
What yall think? Will it get the job done or should I get something else?

Gordon, your gona have to show me some stuff too!

7 day rental plus insurance was around $115. I paid $1100 for the lens, and they reimbursed the rental fee. Lens was rated 9 out of 10 on their quality scale.
