Guest kracey Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 whats up, this is gonna be my first year turkey hunting. I hunt on privately owned land . and I will be hunting on land that has never been turkey hunted before, ( not even on neighboring land) My question is how big is a good turkey flock... I have witnessed a flock of 35 and a flock 8.. I assume this is a good if not great size flock. anyone have any input on what a good number flock would be???

Strut10 Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Re: How much is a good turkey flock size Flock size depends a lot on the sex of the birds, the time of year and the area of the country. If you are seeing 35 birds in a group, you are definitely in a good area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lil hunter Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: How much is a good turkey flock size This time of year, I generally see them in flocks of between 15 and 30. But last year, there was one big flock, of over 120 in a big field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanH Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: How much is a good turkey flock size Ok you guys wont really believe me! But whatever! I have seen a flock off turkeys in the fall about 800-1000 birds in the flock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Re: How much is a good turkey flock size Have seen 30-40 birds in a flock here on a few occasions, but usually see 18-30. Think 35 birds is a pretty decent flock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I video taped a flock of 32 a couple of weeks ago. Mainly hens and jakes but there was one long beard in the bunch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
