Two-way radios

I am going to be going on an elk/mule deer hunt in Colorado this next fall and am looking at getting some two-way radios/walkie-talkies. Do you guys have any recommendations? I see a lot about having to get a license to use the GMRS signals and that this costs somewhere around $75-$85. Is this per person or per group? Is there any way around using these signals so that we don't have to pay the extra fee?
Any advice you can give would be great...Thanks!

I use to be a Talk about fan. But the last three pairs I have had have been junk in the speaker department. I got a pair of Midlands this last fall and was very happy with the reception and quality of them.

I honestly can't say enough good stuff about the Garmin Rino's. 2 way communication and gps in one. Every time you key the mike your position is updated on your buddies screen so when ya get something down or if someone gets hurt everyone can walk right to them. We all use the Rino 120's which are their base model, but it fits the bill.

The liscense is only an option to increase range. Realistic range is probably a mile or so depending on terrain
