RE: what camera to buy??
i would buy a stealth cam...upgraded cf memory card..comes with 64mb included...easy to use..pics come out well and with movie..i have two of the i390 and they both work very well...plus you can buy the 6v or 12v rechargable battery pack at stealthcam's website and they will last longer then a month before the battery goes out...then you can just recharge it....
if you scroll down the trail cam page go to the topic of "post your bear pics here" and you can see a stealth cam pic of a bear i got this year for example...
