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

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.
