More Arkansans will be heading to the supermarket to get their turkeys this Thanksgiving.
The Game and Fish commission says the number of turkeys hunted this year fell 15% to 16,969.
That`s a far cry from the all-time record of 19,947 turkeys caught in 2003.
Officials blame the heavier-than-expected rainfall which disrupted the turkeys` nesting season. Commission officials are looking into changing next year`s hunting dates.
