I usually slice it about 1/4" thick, dust it in flour and fry it butter. My Mom always used to simmer it in water with salt, pepper and a bay leaf and then let it cool in its own broth. Then she would slice it fairly thin and make sandwiches with mayo and coarse black pepper. I have taken many deer heart sandwiches into the woods with me over the years. My favorite lunch opening day of PA season is a deer heart sandwich from one I have killed previously in NY. It just seems like a fitting lunch when one is hunting deer.

Thanksgiving in July. Roasted half of the jake I shot on opening morning. Sat in a brine overnight then rubbed with garlic and herb butter (rosemary, thyme, and sage). Next time i'll do the breast and thighs separate. Half a bird is way too much for just me and the wife. Came out great though!!!

Wind direction would be great help.. but pinch behind house is a good spot to start esp if they have dog or hunt themselves. I would then walk the creek looking for crossings. They either bed or will use side hill benches for travel, find where one narrows and you will have another pinch point to scout and hunt, entrance routes will dictate where you can put stand based on wind direction.. To often we want to hunt the best sign only to spook and scent up the area and ruin it before we can hunt properly.. it's the most overlooked problem I see most hunters do, it may have great sign but if you can't get there without spooking everything out its worthless to spend time there, better to have better access over less sign and get your game while they are unaware

Without knowing wind direction, food sources, bedding areas , sign ,observed travel of deer and such , going just on the 30 seconds I looked at the pic. Id try the pinch point between the bend in the river and that house.

Nah. I'd like to try call one in and shoot one though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been shooting Rage 2's for the past few years . The farthest I have killied a deer is 35 yards . They are deadly . I will admit that a blade can pop out of the rummer O ring . I always double check when I have an arrow nocked . I have a bunch of Muzzys that I havn't shot and should try them out sometime . As far as the cost of the Rage broadheads , I look at it as an investment in my kids inheritance !

Have a wonderful day !! Maybe we'll see you over on the " beer thread " later with a birthday brew

Ok you're all wrong it's amazing but don't ever cook it.... Take it while it's still warm from the fresh kill.... Use your knife chop till it's like coarse ground beef add mayo lemon juice mustard capers chopped red onion hot sauce salt and pepper.... Mix....

Checked one of my cams quick behind the house. Here's two of my fawns. Glad to see they are still around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish I had a place nearby where I could catch bullheads in decent numbers. I LOVE catching and eating them ! They are also one of the easiest fish to clean if you know the right way to do it.. Youtube has lots of videos showing several quick and easy methods.

It is really good! Sautee in some garlic and onion and any other spices you like and it's tasty! If you never tried it you are missing out.

Last night's beer. Not awful. Camp Wannamango is much better. Worked 12.5 hrs today and no energy left. Had a Mic Ultra with dinner tonight. Now time for bed.

Filled up a Cooler With corona cans for My Softball game. I've had so many I keep hitting Return when I try to hit the space bar

Thought the same, until i said what the hey and tried it. Im glad I did cause it was pretty good. I defiantly prefer regular meat as of now, but I don't think ill be turning the heart sway from now on.

I love deer heart. It's a bit mineraly like liver. As mentioned, slice it thin ( not super thin ) and fry it up in some butter with fresh garlic, and onions if you choose too. There are a ton of recipes out there. My favorite way to cook it is pan fried with just some fresh garlic and butter.

i have a few times - just sliced it and fried quickly in a pan - tasted great

Stopped and dropped a bunch of dough at the beer supply before I headed home. I have a bunch of new stuff to try. Here is the first. Not bad at all but a bit more hop would improve it. Pretty refreshing though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

7600, you are my HE-ro...!! When I grow up, I want to be just like YOU..!!

Got ya all beat! Busch in the yard! LOL

Shrimp and mango quesadillas, with jalapeños , garlic , onions , cilantro and lime juice

Any of you guys eat deer heart? Ive never done it before, but after eating the heart of the turkey I got last spring I decided to keep the heart if Im lucky enough to get a deer this season.

My house is gutted right now, what a PITA. On the bright side the contractor doing my bathroom has been fantastic. Shows up every day, is doing a great job, cleans up and he's out

Learned to trim back the first Broccoli head so as to allow more heads to grow. Tomatoes ok. Thank God Tops is around the corner.

Happy Birthday!

happy Birthday,enjoy the day and party!

Have a Happy Birthday!!

Happy Birthday!

IMO it's a prime cut. If you have a wood fire pit and can grill it low and slow over wood coals it's fantastic as well.

I have never tried it and probably never will .

Have one in my freezer. I'm told slice it thin and cook with onions. Sent from my D6708 using Tapatalk

Well today was one of the greatest days of my life, my cousin is in town and the other day when we were talking I told her to drop her kids off so her and her husband could have a day to them selves. She has 3 kids 2 boys and a girl oldest 11 youngest 5. We had a BLAST! We rode the wheelers, went swimming fished in the creek, shot bows and shot guns, basically the perfect day. Her kids had so much fun they live in a city and don't get to do these things. My daughter is 8 and she had so much fun with the kids as well. Apparently in the 10 years since I last seen my cousin a lot has changed. She came and picked them up and about 2 minutes later called my phone hysterical and screaming at me for allowing her kids to shoot guns and "hurt fish." After trying to figure out what she was screaming about for a couple minutes I asked her if she was bringing them over again tomorrow and she hung up. What the hell is wrong with people these days?

Can I come over? That sounds like fun.

I have used rub lines to kill a few bucks and followed the line right up the mountain and waited for the bucks to come up.From my observations cluster rubs are usually a staging area for them as they wait to enter another area at dark. The first post was from Outdoor life magazine about rubs.This is from another article A tree that has been shredded by antlers is the most obvious sign that a whitetail buck has been in an area. But with some knowledge of whitetail deer behavior and a little scouting, a whitetail deer rub can tell you a lot more. You can determine when the whitetail buck rub was made, what the deer was doing when he made it, the direction the whitetail buck is traveling, and the buck's probable age. Buck rubs may be the best type of whitetail deer sign in determining where your next trophy whitetail deer is laid up. Early Season Rubs Mature whitetail bucks make two distinct types of rubs. One type of whitetail deer rub is the early-season rub. These whitetail buck rubs are in correspond to late-summer feeding patterns. To unravel a whitetail buck's routine as he progresses through the season, you must understand the difference types of rubs a whitetail buck makes. Early season whitetail deer rubs are produced for several reasons. Scraping antlers on trees builds up neck and shoulder muscles. This is done so whitetail bucks will be muscled up and ready to fight when the rut rolls around. It allows whitetail bucks to release aggression caused by rising testosterone levels throughout the whitetail deer season. Markings designate a whitetail buck's territory, both visually and by scent deposited from the forehead glands. Other whitetail bucks may rub the same tree, adding their signature smells. Mature whitetail bucks make their initial rubs in September and early October on stout trees, usually 2 to 4 inches in diameter (see sidebar). These mark a buck's primary home range. Clusters and lines of them usually indicate that they were created either as the whitetail buck traveled from food sources to thick bedding cover at dawn or on his way back to feed in the late afternoon. Hunting these spots may be your best chance to take a mature animal before the rut.

This is sad, but made me laugh. Sorry to hear. At least the kids had fun for one day...

Hunterman have you watched bucks of all sizes rub? They rub both by pulling which is often a basket rack n a sapling. Big bucks n big trees normally pushed

4) The Side Of The Tree Take heed what side of the tree the rub is on. Rubs generally point in the direction a buck came from when he made it. Remember this the next time you come across a series of rubs. Most times, all of them face the same direction. Many rubs (but certainly not all) are made at night. Because we know this, we can observe what side of the tree the rub is on and have a general idea which direction that buck is bedding.

in and out being "in "(eat ) and "out "( airport crapper)? It's quicker just to unwrap and throw it in the toilet

Got a 25 in walleye fishing with a 8in mogombo grub in about 25 ft of water on the chenango today. W as excited when i felt the hit but def didnt feel like a musky. nice fish still not a ski to be found yet tho.

If i see a line of them then they can tell you which way they usually travel that path and you can use that to find if he passes through in the morning or afternoon

^^^ in agreement with TC BUT I still try others for comparison and market research. Tonight's offering is solid.

...got pulled from the back of the safe. Heavy. Only really use it to clear woodchucks from hay fields during the warmer months. Hope to have enough time this summer to tally up 100 for the year. Problem is I'm down to my last box of BlackHills 60gr Vmax. Tried some AE FMJ just to practice and box test with but holy hell the stuff isn't a good combo. 6" groups at 200 yrds! Compared to the routine 3/4" groups at 200 yrds I get with the BlackHills. I'll be ammo hunting or getting into reloading quick. Not good.

Thank you all for the welcome messages!

The best source for trapping equipment and how to trap is the Fur Fish and Game magazine, about anything you want to know about trapping can be found. In my opinion probably the best outdoor sports magazine available today, I have been a subscriber for years. Al

Congrats on the new purchase! Enjoy!
