It's the middle of turkey season. That would primarily be the “turkey eating” season. The fall turkey hunting season finds bow and crossbow hunters out with a limited gun hunting period. Zak Danks is the Turkey Program Coordinator with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. He said the harvested fowl is a different breed from what’s typically found on a holiday dinner table.
“It’s not as fatty like a domestic turkey that’s bread solely for its meat to be big and juicy and plump as possible. For these birds, that’s not the case. The breast is a little tougher, although it’s great. The legs are certainly tougher and most hunters don’t even try to eat the legs, although you can,” said Danks.
