RE: Stupid question
 

flock (??)

that is what i have always used and heard them called

RE: Stupid question
 

Yep,It's a flock.Also there are no STUPID questions.

RE: Stupid question
 

That's right, only stupid people. ;) By the way, I've only heard turkey groups referred to as "flocks".

RE: Stupid question
 

Yes FLOCKS....and you are right Jalvja there is no stupid questions.

RE: Stupid question
 

Flock!

RE: Stupid question
 

Actually I always thought it was a flock but I heard on some show on the outdoor channel differently. It was a trivia question and they say it is called a rafter!!! I still say flock but I guess rafter is supposed to be the official name.

RE: Stupid question
 

Technically Jalvja you are correct,
But down here in Cajun Country,
We say
"Did ja See dat S*@# Load a Turkeys in da Field"

I know, I know - Stupid people, Right?[:-]

RE: Stupid question
 

..around here i call them for dinner..LOL..but i call them a Bunch..been saying that for
years...might be a (hick word)...thanks..

RE: Stupid question
 

VP, you ain't right.:D

I've only heard of a rafter in building terminology.:D:D

Its a flock (or that's all I've ever been told).:)

RE: Stupid question
 

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

RE: Stupid question
 

Good un Vance!!:DI agree no stupid ?'s here!I'd like to see a herd of turks,must be some bigole birds!!!:DFlocks...;)

RE: Stupid question
 

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).

RE: Stupid question
 

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

RE: Stupid question
 

I should of mentioned we call them things other than flocks too.Some I can't mention on here without gettin booted:D

RE: Stupid question
 

I always called a group of turkeys a drove...lots of other people use to also...not as common now days.

RE: Stupid question
 

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

RE: Stupid question
 

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"

RE: Stupid question
 

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

RE: Stupid question
 

How bout I just call you stupid.

RE: Stupid question
 

Wouldn't be the first time.[&:]

RE: Stupid question
 

Like I said before...I always have and always will call them a flock but I heard on TV it is technically called a RAFTER. Thanks for helping me out barefoot.
