Anyone else eat this?
 

When I was little long before I started hunting my dad would always cook a breakfast after he killed a deer. This would consist of eggs, hashbrowns, and what I just always thought was tenderloins or round steaks from the deer. After a few years of eating it my dad finally informed that I was actually eating the heart of the deer.

I was at first disguisted by it, and it took me a few more times of eating it before I could actually enjoy it again. Now that I have gotten used to the taste and the fact that I am actually eating heart, I thourghly enjoy it. We never use a heart shot deer, or one out of an old mature buck. However this little breakfast has become almost atradition the next morning after a successful hunt.

I have not met any other hunter around here other than my dad that will do this...just wondering if anyone else here digs in on a little deer heart every now and then?

I used to save the heart and liver for my grandfather but after he passed away, I started leaving it behind. He used to stuff and back the heart. I never tried. it.

Been eating heart all my life!! Allot of people I know eat the heart, It's damn near the best part of the deer If you ask me.

Never had it. If I ever figure out how to fix itI may try it. I have had the liver when my grandfather used to make it...it was great....

Must be something about you recurve hunters because thats what the old man always packed into the woods with him lol.

All I do is cut it out of the deer and let it soak in water in the fridge over night. The next morning I take it out clean it out really good and cut it into steaks. Throw into some flour and into the skillet and ready to eat.
