I have the Moultrie Game Spy 4.0 Megapixel Digital Camera. It's 99 bucks and add 20-30 bucks for shipping and duties you can't go wrong.

I haven't used mine yet but Darren (a member on this site) has the same one. Check out this link to view his pics.

So with that gamespy 4.0 can you look at the pictures in the field or do you have to take it home and download????

I know sweet nothing about these things, so just wondering.....

Rocksteady,

All you have to do is bring your digital camera with you. When you get to the game camera, you slip the memory card out of the game cam and then insert it in to your digital camera. You can view it right away. If you have two memory cards you should be able to just alternate them.

Simply insert the blank memory card into the game cam after you retrieve the card with all the pics on it...then you can just move the camera to the next spot you want to scout.

Take the loaded memory card home and empty the pics onto your computer then the next time you go up repeat the process. Your game cam never even has to come home...just replace the batteries when needed.

We've been using the Moultree works great only things to watch are the seal on the case is a little flimsy.

My brother has one of these and it was simpler and seemed as good as his other $600.00 unit.

I will have one when my Dad returns from the states. Can't wait!!
