Eating Deer Liver & Heart

[BeerMe]

TP3 showed me a great way to cook heart, after discarding it all my life. As for liver, I share it with the critters.

I was forced to eat beef liver once as a kid.
Kinda a formal family gathering. I begged not to but dad insisted.

After I vomited on the table they never made me eat it again.

I'm perty sure I'd vomit deer liver as well.

I'd have to be pretty hungry to eat either. You do you though haha

I like deer heart but not the liver, only because it is always a lot tougher than beef liver...but my dog loves it.

If you're concerned about CWD, you probably should skip the heart since it has high concentrations of the prions in infected animals.

I can’t get over the concept of what a liver’s purpose is. Heart is great though.

Is that true? I hunt in a mandatory CWD zone and we love grilling up fresh heart in camp. The rest of the meat I package up and wait til we get negative test result before digging in. If this is confirmed I may have to change the practice, which would be a bummer.

This is an old article on it but I can't find anything recent.

I would never eat the filter out of an animal.
