I'm hoping to have a career in wildlife photography in the near future. Any tips?

Attend some kind of photo school to get the skills you will need to 1) learn how to be a photographer 2) start building your camera system and 3) work as an assistant to a wildlife photographer for a few years until you have honed your skills as a photographer and build an excellent network of clients, fellow photographers and professional organizations (ASMP, NPPA etc)

Your camera system will have to include a professional level DSLR (Nikon or Canon), sturdy tripod, spotting scope, some training with a bow hunter (leaning to stalk game) and a couple of lenses, 400 mm f/2.8 and 600 mm f/4.0

When you research the costs of the equipment, you will see that it will exceed $20,000, so start saving now.
