Not that anyone is interested but the old people in the southeast had a story about turkey legs.
The little box turtle (luksibashka) was a hunter. And one day he was trying to get a turkey (fakit was the turkey) He shot all his little arrows into the turkey’s legs hence that’s how all the little slivers of tendons and such got in the turkeys legs. Least that is what the old people say.
On the subject the muskoegeon word many of that linguistic groups used for turkey was "fakit”. Until the christian missionaries arrived and were offended by the use of that word. So they pretty much tried to get the locals to use the term "akanka cheto” or big chicken instead.
Just usless stuff I remember.
Good luck hunting!!!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
