Heart, liver - yes.  I've eaten beef tongue and liked it but never deer or elk.  Brains and lungs - no thanks unless you are a real good cook.  I'm a pretty good game cook but it would take someone else to cook brains or lungs for me to try them.  Probably the same thing with kidneys, etc.

I leave that for the coyotes and bears. I'll take the prime meat and let them have the waste filters (kidneys, liver, bowels, etc)

Heart and Liver definately, can't beat liver and onions if it is cooked correctly.

    We have a tradition if a Bull Elk is killed fresh Rocky Mountain Oysters for lunch....yum..!

I take the prime cuts and leave the rest.   I'm not about to eat the lights in anything and if it stinks when I'm cleaning it I won't eat it.

This reminds me of a book I read a few years back.  "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose. He chronicles the Lewis & Clark expedition.

Anyway,...somewhere in the northwest, one of the party kills an elk. As he's cleaning it, the native Indians are so hungry (it's winter) they eat the intestines raw...pushing poop out one end and biting chunks off the other end.


I guess I might've starved to death back then  :)

Heart all the time. Nothing else for me though. Never liked liver anyway.

It's actually a Greek dish traditional on Easter. We typically use lamb organs. Growing up I used to shy away from it, now I love it.

I tried Liver last season and didnt like it.  I would try it if someone else prepared it if they claim its all in the way you cook it.

I would like to give heart a try and would try most of whats been mentioned just to see if its good but I would have a hard time cooking some of it.

Mikey, them fish holes of yours are probably still floating around somewhere. I think theyve been won and re-won at several shoots over the years. I think they came from an Italian deli in Da Bronx. Bill, that is the cooking school they went to. My Granny grew up in the jungle of PR where everything was on the menu. Cept snakes and shrooms, she despised both. I love em both. Chris, after eating that porcupine you could probably scarf down the fish holes to kill the taste that Im sure still lingers on your palate. I respect you for that though, you stuck em you plucked em.   :thumbsup:

Remember Whip we cooked up Rafaels whitetail heart from North Dakota this year with mushrooms and onions. It's all in the marinade. Just marinade yourself well before you eat it and it's always good!

At my liesure,  I stick to the meat.  I have not yet tried,  but would consider heart.  It is a muscle.   I never have and will not eat liver or kidneys....the filter of any animal,  filtering out toxins that animal is subjected to.  No thanks,  despite how  tasty.  Though I would think a whitetail  roaming alot of land would be the safest bet.
Now a survival situation.....all bets are off!  I WILL SURVIVE!

When growing up on a farm we butchered beef twice a year for the family.  My mom got the tounge first thing and prepared it for sandwiches.  It was the best sandwich meat I've ever had.

Of course in the spring we'd have oysters and morels with scrambled eggs.  Dang that was good too.

I agree with LookMom. I'll eat heart, but no other organs, unless it's a matter of survival.
