Be sure and cut the gall blader off of it. It is a little sack that has a kind of greenish liguid fluid in it.
Beaver liver is also very good, mabe better than deer liver and a beaver liver is real big.

SWEEET< just the advice I was looking for. I already cut out the gall bladder. and sliced it. its been in the fridge over night. I have heard some people say something about skinning it? Anyway. What about the little holes in it? looks like vents that ran thruogh the liver, just leavem in?

Beef liver for bait maybe, but deer liver .... Never. Venison liver and onions is about as good as it gets.....

Deer don't have gall bladders.

ground or cubed and frozen or aged ... it's BAIT ... no deer liver for this ol' boy

fried chicken livers ... now I could probably eat my body weight in them ... and that's a lot

I only do fried or grilled chicken livers too Ed.

thats pretty much the way i do it,unless i`m in the woods and don`t have milk,then i use salt water

Im trying to read all these new posts, but for some reason I cant get past Possum Skinners post..The mouse just seems to refuse to scroll down .. lol

Caught a mess of weasels last year on deer liver. Just cubed it up into about 1" chunks, hung it above the trap pan in the box and BAM!

-Skunkly-

FYI: The Liver is excellent eating, And comes in 2 sections, the firm side is the liver, and the spongy side is the Pancreas, (actually a seperate organ) and is not edible, I usually chop it up and simmer with a couple of boxes of corn muffin mix as a topper for the hound dogs feed. Make sure to remove from the rest of the gut pile and cool as quickly as possible.

For the liver, slice up several large onions, and saute' a bit to brown, then add water and lay the sliced liver on top, cover, and let cook till the water is gone. YUM YUM

dont forget to skin the deer liver before you slice it

Those who knock it, say what you want, but liver, deer, beaver, calf or chicken, is high in Iron and increases red blood cells within your body. It is high in purines (which is Uric Acid) and anyone who is prone to gout or kidney stones should watch how much organ meat, protein they take in. I know, I'm a dual transplant patient ('89 kidney/pancreas) and after that, too much protein or organ meat (I love liver and could eat a pound or two at a meal) I must take in moderation.

Oh, the kidneys filters the impurities within the body from the blood.

Never eaten any deer liver, may need to give this one a try and I'm headed out tonight for a 2 day deer hunt!

We used to eat the pancreas out of hogs... called it sweetbread... do you know how to cook kidneys? put in a big pot of water and boil the pi$$ out of them.... ;-)

with a name like CrowKiller... you better like to eat liver...
