Who here took a bite of the heart from their first deer?

[clintb]

No. Not a tradition in my family

[wes122984]

Nope. Don't think that's a tradition I could participate in.

He's about to marry my kid sister, had to mess with him a little bit

[CastAndBlast]

Not I. They smeared the blood on my face, but no heart

[chrismass33]

You lie!!! I told you the first thing i wanted to do after i killed one was cut out the heart and take a bite. If anything i convinced the other two guys to do it. I felt like it was a sign of respect for the animal

[Olphart]

Y'all been watching too many Kevin Costner films!

[Texas-Red]

That's a tradition my family luckily doesn't have

[quackaholic1]

Buddy on our lease gets all the hearts. He loves them. We do keep a couple and fish with them though.

I'm a card packing Choctaw and I didn't do it. I was 8 and wasn't asked to do it luckily.

Liver

I've never knowingly eaten the heart of anything cooked or raw.

Of course with hot dogs, who can tell?

[Coach W]

Lol.

[Geezy Rider]

I eat the heart of every deer I kill. Cooked either with fried potatoes and onions or in chile.

I did for my first bowkill. I was a spry young 15 year old kid and my uncle, his buddies and a "veterinarian" lease member helped me blood trail her and find her. It was a constant razzing while I field dressed her, and they didn't think that I would do it. I pulled out her heart, said a few Indian words that I had heard in western movies, and took a big ole bite out of it. They almost fell over when I did it, and the vet just about puked on himself.
Knowing what I know now, about blood born pathogens et al, I wouldn't do it again. When my boy kills his first, he will get the traditional blood on the cheeks.

[Mac...]

Lol
Absolutely not. Lol

But he did! Lol

[Shake N' Bake]

Nope
