I soak it in salt water for a couple of hours before cooking. There's no need to hang or age it. However you cook it, don't over-cook it. If you cook the red out of it, then it only gets tougher from then on. People who say that hearts is tough are over-cooking it.

Cut into 3/4" slices, flour and fry with Johnny's and fresh ground pepper over medium heat/hi. Add some dry red wine and reduce heat to low. Flip once after a couple minutes cook until wine reduces into a kind of gravy.

To draw the blood out of it.

 :yeah: it helps draw the blood out and keep it from being gamey. Everyone I know also soaks it in salt water too. I guess I just assumed everyone did.  :dunno: to each there own. I'll definitely have to try a few of these other recipes though. Some sound pretty tasty. Thanks for all the ideas guys.

Ok. Do you do that with liver, too? I got a heart from my deer this year but only my liver from this years elk.

Thanks.

Yessir. My neighbor (who is a liver aficionado) soaks his in milk in the fridge over night. I've had his liver and onions and wow. Muy Bueno! But we use salt water for both heart and liver...I also soak all my duck and goose breast' in salt water over night too before I freeze them.  :twocents:  :tup:

Cut it into 1/4" to 1/2" strips/rounds and fried with flour and salt.  It was good, but definitely not better than steak.  The consistency wasn't that appealing. It was a little too gamey, but that was probably due to the preparation.
