It's a very official term I'm 30% sure of it.

When they're alarmed they have a very short "bock" note they'll make. One or two of them will bock every 5-10 seconds. Whenever one does it they all stand up straight and look around. Typically followed by quickly exiting the area. I just mimicked their sound and pace. Every time he bocked, I bocked. In my mind, made him think he must have seen another turkey moving instead of something dangerous. They came peeking into the brush we were in and there was a barrel hidden in there peeking back at him 😁

Thats called a "putt" not a bock.
