Extremely interesting conversation going on in here.
Grumpy, you say you have to basically be within voice range of each other. Unbelievable. A bunch of guys with high powered rifles that close together?????
We hunt an area about 1 or 2 kms wide by 1 km deep (the width depends on the numbers in the party). Only 5 of us have FRS' and it would be up to us to inform the others (either by walking over and informing them or by firing a pre-determined number of shots-carefully of course

).
It doesn' t make sense that we' d have to be that close. I know this isn' t your opinion but what you' ve heard.
Once again, another set of rules that everyone isn' t exactly clear on.
Later,
Mike
