Anyone know what the propper name is for a group of geese in the air?
It's not flock or gaggle.

I call them lots of names when they're not making any effort to fly into my spread. They are called a skein and if you or anyone else can tell me why that name I'd like to know. But if they did commit to the spread, and I'm not hunting with a couple guys that I will not mention their names here, are call dead long black necked SOBs. ;D

That didn't take very long. I figured it was a term that they used back in the day.

a skein refers to a line a geese. When flying in a v shape they can be referred to as a wedge if I'm not mistaken. Skein comes from yarn and yarn making.

What are ducks in flight? If you are from Maryland... The story goes that two duck hunters in a duck blind on Maryland's Eastern Shore were looking skyward when this friendly exchange occurred... M.R. Ducks M. R. Not O. S. A. R. C. M. Wangs L. I. B. M. R. Ducks For those unfamiliar with the distinct dialect of the Eastern Shore, what the two hunters were saying was... Them are ducks. Them are not. Oh, yes, they are. See them wings? Well, I'll be. Them are ducks. |
