RE: do you eat the heart??
 

Nope. I leave it in the woods for the animals with the rest of the guts (including liver).

Never tried groundhog. What do they taste like? I used to check my deer rifle before the season by shooting a bunch of groundhogs, but I never tried eating one.

BTW, I have a bunch of first cousins in Stokes, grew up in G'ville.

Whistle pig is only good BBQ'd.

I probably know your kin in Stokes. Whereabouts? Walnut Cove, Danbury, Lawsonville, King, or other.?

Its practically a rituall at deer camp for me to make my famous deer stew. When the first deer arrives at camp, the heart , lungs and liver along with some back strap go straight into a pot with some veggies and simmered to a wonderfully delectuble dish. Mmmm-Mmmm. One of our guests one time said we were cannibals, but after some coercing he was moping up his second helping with bread. LOL.

Oh ya, your not a true hunter if you dont utilize the whole deer, (ya thats it ) utilize the whole deer. Skin for clothing and shoes, bones for tools, horns for weapons, teeth for jewelry, hoofs for gun racks, yep your not a true hunter.

Love the heartThe first deer shot in our camp, will have its heart and liver fried up in a pan and we all use tooth picks to eat it with, dipping it into three home made sauces. medium, hot, and volcanic.

The lungs?!? Now that's something new! Are they light and airy??? :)

RE: do you eat the heart??
 

The lungs actually cook up to a meaty consistency, much like the liver I suppose.
