Have a heart!

Wow AP that looks so good

Thanks! It really is an amazing treat. Probably the best part is that my wife did not grow up eating game, and was more than a bit suspect. Now she texts me when I'm out hunting asking if we're having liver and heart for dinner!

   Can't get mine to eat the hearts, no problem with this on my end though as there's more for me.

Love it....I clean mine the same. Trim fat, open chambers, remove connective tissue, and slice. Skewer or sear, if seared deglaze pan with hearty red wine and more butter, add pre-sauteed mushrooms and onions. Reduce mixture and serve it on the side of the heart meat. Awesome!

I also love it pickled with some onions and garlic.  Delicious.  Par boil it with some pickling spices and soak a couple weeks in a vinegar brine, onions and garlic.  Serve on crackers or crusty bread.

Speaking of deer parts, he was so full of food, he looked bloated.
I was afraid he'd explode when I opened him up. This is his stomach
With my size 13 boot for reference. Is this normal?

My son shot a buck last year and set his trail camera up on the gun pile to see what would be scavenging on it.
The first thing that came to it was other deer smelling it and checking it out.
Then the crows found it they were feeding on it until it was gone,
Then the coyotes found it and eat on it in the night time hours, one of them was missing a front leg.
A fisher eat on it two seperate times and a fox visited it once.
So even the gut pile goes on to feed other animals, not much goes to waste.


I have a couple of beef hearts in the freezer, I need to take one out and try some of it your way.
