I saved one a couple years ago and cooked it in butter and flour. It was horrible, they'll stay in the woods from now on. I tried it because of all the deer heart is awesome threads on here.

If you don't like heart, you've never had it cooked right.

Saw “meat eater” take the heart and butterfly it, then cut out all the ventricles and such and chicken fry it. Tried it and wasn’t bad, definitely edible.

We save all our deer hearts. Slice them into strips, marinate and a quick cook on the grill kabob style. Delicious.
I gave up on eating heart... Flavor was never bad, but I'm pretty sure a tractor tire would be easier to chew.

This makes me think there are people who dont actually enjoy the flavor of organ meat but you and I are the same. Anything worth eating should never require more than salt, pepper, flour, or butter

Edible but not a steak
We grind the heart with scrap and 1/3 pork. Makes another pound of hamburger

Nice. Everybody I know saves the hearts...if they don't fry or pickle them, they grind them up and mix with the burger

You guys just must not be hungry. Won't pass up heart, tongue, but you can have the liver. It makes a better lure base!
Out of the smoker. Forgot to rinse it so it's a bit salty. Goes good with crackers and cheese.

Looks good Hornady Reloader.
II used to save all the deer hearts and livers for the scrapple pot. Then my granddaughter ask me to fry one up for her. I sliced it thin, fried it in butter on hot cast iron and sprinkled a bit of salt on. Now only the livers make it into the scrapple pot, she makes me keep the hearts for frying.
Still have one saved to try that Lugnut.

It was pretty good. I took out all the chamber linings and large veins and arteries. We used to eat hearts at deer camp all the time but then at some point I just started tossing them in with the scrapple...until my granddaughter put a stop to that.
So did the smoked hearts get tender? Do you serve it cold with with the crackers and cheese?

That's funny cause my granddaughters favorite part is the heart.
Yes it is tender. Serving cold on Ritz with cheddar

Heart is my favorite part of big game. I love the texture. Like liver, it should be eaten fresh. Other muscles freeze better. If it's chewy you overcooked it or froze it.
