Someone told me that harvested "wild" turkey tastes horrible. They also said it's nothing like store bought. Any truth to this?

its all in the cooking. good cooks can make horse shart taste good. I really can't tell much diff other than a wild one may be leaner and have shot in it. we shot some one day while camping and cooked them over coals from a campfire and they were good, but my old hunting pard was an excellent cook/chef

Never ate one that wasn't delicious....try this some time....rub the whole thing with a coat of good mayonaise.....a little season salt and pepper.. the mayo will cook away but seal it and keep it juicier(this works great for smoking chicken also)...put on a oak fired smoker at about 225 and smoke it until just done....dont want to dry it out.....absolutely delicious ....I like it better than a store bought bird....but thats just me....
