I think the 55-300 is the minimum and least expensive entry into long-distance wildlife. Even so, 100 yards is going to be heavy cropping territory... usually good enough for ID and some nice accomplishments, but not stunning shots. But getting past 300mm with Pentax is not easy, the DA300 plus new 1.4X teleconverter is probably the most attractive option. Beyond that, you're looking at some very long lenses from Sigma etc.
It's somewhat easier with the Nikons, but certainly NOT cheap to get past 300mm in any camera brand.
The 18-135 is a nice walkaround lens, though.
