A guy I used to hunt with would take all the hearts he could get.
He would boil them than pickle them simular to pickled eggs.
Not for me but he loved them.

Good Luck

clean it out, cut top off , then
slice it into about 3/8" thick. season with garlic powder , lowyers seasoning, black pepper. roll in flour and pan fry till golden brown. goes great for breafast with grits and eggs.

I just slice it and fry it. Some folks sort of hollow it out and fill it with stuffing and bake it. Others just grind it in with their grinding meat.

Coyote is right is does make great catfish bait, but I like to slice it up and fry it. It depends on our mood when we are cleaning them if it is not tore up we will normally save it to eat, though usually I shoot my deer in the heart or lungs so it is normally just mush.

Well the Native Americans use to eat it raw. They felt that you would gain the animals strength from doing this or so I was told.

tree climber hit the nail on the head. my buddy marinates his in a vinegar based brine then slices it and fries it.its good either way.just like any organ on a deer make sure you inspect it good before cooking it
