When one rejoins the line, yes. When one is coming back to the line and is 30 yards away, most of your hunting partners don't really want you yelling out to them. Quail can, in fact, hear.
I agree with this:
"VPOTUS HAS THE POWER TO CALM THE FRENZY [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
We have an editorial up on the hunting accident and the media:
Cheney himself should make a public appearance on the matter, and the sooner the better. He should get himself with a respected national anchor — perhaps Brit Hume of Fox News — as soon as this evening to express his regret and explain in his own words what happened. He should stop relying on press aides who were not present at the accident to tell his side of the story. Not talking only feeds speculation, and aids the cause of those who want to lampoon and smear him. Let's hear from the vice president."

If Mr. Whittingham did not have the heart problems today, I would have said not a big deal. But now, unfortunately, they will continue to blow things out of proportion and speculate.
