I got these at the 348th super walmart in federal way kiddy corner from wholesale sports. it was the last two they had. I would check a few inner city walmarts where they don't sell as much hunting gear.

I have the one the op posted and I can't complain, it takes great photos IMO. I originally bought the wild game innovation from Walmart and returned the next morning and bought the tasco. I paid 100 for mine though.

I have three.  Cost was 39.99 on amazon with free shipping.  Takes good morning, afternoon and evening photos,  but night photos could be better.  If an animal is more than 8-10 feet out all you see are eyes at night.  Well worth the money and the low out of pocket expense if the walk away.  2 gb max sd card and battery life of 3 months is nice.  I have plenty of example photos but I am on shift today.  D

Mine call for a 1gb  card but you can use a 2gb class 2 card. not sure if a 4gb class 2 would work or not in mine.

Don't waist your money, pay a little more and get a good camera, they don't hold up, from experience.

I have a handful of these. I haven't had any more issues with these cameras than any other camera I own. If your just wanting to put them on trails I don't reccomend that but I haven't had any problems over minerals 9-10 feet away.

I would look a little deeper, in my opinion tasco is not very good i see alot of whiteouts with my friends and hes always complaining about it, If your hunting on your own land or if your not worried about it being stolen id go with the bushnell trophy cam 5-8mp they are amazing cameras and offer great pictures and videos and there super small and lightweight, i bought a 5mp bushnell trophy for 148$ on sale at amazon.com so for 60 bucks more the difference in picture quality and BATTERY LIFE is absoulutley worth it....

on the other hand i had mine stolen 3 weeks after i bought it... so i switched to the wildview, it was 57$ and the pictures are good enough for me... just not as high quality as the bushnell (and the battery life is much shorter)

but like i said go with the bushnell if your not hunting high trafic areas
