I got the Nikon p950 at the beginning of the season and love it. Have enjoyed taking pics almost as much as killing
Are you photographing deer? Do you think it is realistic to get a shoulder and head shot of a deer at 75-100 yards with that camera?

You need 200mm at minimum. You really need a 400mm or 600mm if you want to do it right.
As for a total beginner, you're probably going to need to get a budget 100-400mm zoom in a decent body.
Min entry into this type of rig is probably $1500.
A good pro rig with a 400mm prime would be about $5000, and that's buying used, slighly older, yet still hit quality gear.
