This picture was taken with a Nikon 70-300 VRlens at about 75yds with fulll zoom. Just to give you an example have big of a lens you need. The 70-300 would be the smallest lens you would want for wildlife IMO. The D40 would be a good choice.

RE: What Camera?
be up grading my camera and now i am looking at this combo.
Have any experience using the Quantaray 70-300 lense on the D-40?
Seen on other sites that, the quality is very close
Lense is way cheaper but i may get what i pay for

On the 70-300 lens you really do not need to skimp on a lens that you will be taking pictures from a considerable distance. What ever you do make sure that it's a VR lens. Sorry, I do not have any experience with that lens. Might check for reviews on some of the photo forums.

RE: What Camera?
I agree with AR Bowhunter that a good quality camera is better in the long run but using all it's functions come with practice. Some lower end cameras can also do the trick for you if you use it enough. No doubt a tri-pod will help you however sometimes you do not have enough time to try and set one up. You may need to take a thousand pics to get out 1 good one sometimes. Here is a pic of a moose in the spring just growing his antlers. Taken with my Kodak camera free hand..
