Never heard about the pay for birds part. News to me. I don't pay for access, personally.

We talk while we hunt. But I do like hunting alone with my dog. He usually wears a bell although I have trouble hearing it. I don't like yelling to him so I use a Captain's whistle (sparingly) and the vibrator/tone buttons on his collar coupled with body language.
