That's a great picture! It's what I try and do everytime I harvest an animal.... As far as ritual's go, I was 23 when I harvested my first deer and after being in the US Army for 4 years, I wasn't about to let anyone try and put me through some kind of "rite of passage" ritual. I did get high-fives and drank a few beers though. By the way, deer heart is quite tasty pan-fried and scrambled with eggs
