Who called them a herd? I bet they don't do very much turkey hunting. Definately a flock. It's not a stupid question though. BB

In my neck of the woods they are call a "Bigmessa".

Went out thar on the power lines yesserday and saw a Bigmessa turkeys.

(I think semi normal folk would call them a flock though).

Ok , I'll throw you a curve ball here. A flock of turkeys are often found in the fall and winter as a family flock sticks togeather or sexes tend to group . In the spring as the birds break up and a Tom joins aflock of hens for breading the group of birds become a Harrem ;)...BT

Ifly is right. The correct referrence to a group of turkeys is a "drove".:eek:

I guess the correct word is flock...around here in Va, most everyone says "gang"...if you were from Austrailia, you would use the word "mob"

Well, Slap my Mama and call me stupid!

All the oldtimers around here call a group of turkeys a "drove". But when I did a search:

The correct answer is apparently a RAFTER
