Spur,
        *wha* Again, you aren't even close to what I am talking about.... *wha*


St. John,
    not what I am looking for.  Talking about gobblers in a group...together, not spread out along a river or forest shock gobbling and not asking about what makes them gobble but what affects their in-sinc timing.  IS it a certain audible level that when a sound hits it they trigger a response possibly, is it a reactin to the first bird but so fast you can't really pick it up, is it maybe what Bill suggest...a sound in the beginning of a gobble they hear triggering all of them at once... who knows, just curious to see what some opinions/ideas were is all.  Wonder if any biologist has studied this reaction?

If that is not what you are looking for, why not ask Lovett Willams?  He has done more sound studies on turkeys than anyone and get his opinion.  That is where we go when we want a tech question answered on turkeys.  He is the best in my opionion

Gentleman,

           I just got off the phone with Lovett... He told me the in-sync gobbling is a reaction to loud noise....Hense, the Starting loud noise of a gobble triggers the other gobbler(s) to gobble......

Spur, you still aint got it, you think you do & I get that, but you don't.  I know and knew it could be described as fricken shock gobbling, wasn't looking for a lable to it, didn't ask what it was called....easy with the attitude.   No where did your replies address the specific question, you generalized.  

By simply saying its shock gobbling one is insinuating all gobblers are exactly alike.  That the exact same pitch, sound or what ever, will  trip the trigger in all birds at precisely the same time.  I don't know that I buy that theory, maybe its correct too.  

The shock gobbling is a blanket lable that is abused in my opinion and used way too often to explain the unknown.

Purpose of the post was just to entice discussion and give yah something to ponder.

 Jason, if your intentions were something OTHER, than degrading me on this Thread, your words may have made sense.

It is quite obvious what your intentions are by your posting.

It is also quite clear, what I, Bill, Zumer, Mr. Lovett, and several others described, are one in the same, Shock Gobbling, that easy. WHY, try to put another name to it??

Jason, again, your words and intentions while talking to me, are quite obvious, and I dont appreciate them.

Not once did I say anything about, nor did I try to project the notion that I was superior, nor show an attitude, just gave an answer/oppinion, and you talked Trash all the way through, not me, YOU.

So get Off your High Horse, and stop trying to write between the lines, it is quite obvious, what your intentions are with me.

Say what you want, try to portray me as something I am not, Bottom line is, It's SHOCK GOBBLIN Jason.Nothing More, nothing less. ;D
