Hadn't shot a deer since 2013 season so I have been out of deer meat,,,,,,so when an 8 point came by Saturday morning (just passing through minding his business) I decided he was a good one for some fresh meat,,,,,,,,
so first up is one that some here like,,,some are (might) try,,,,and what I consider the best piece of eats on a deer,,,,the heart,,,,,,,,
trimmed and cut into pieces (didn't have whole heart as the .280 soft point blew most of it to shreds),,,,,
seasoned with salt and pepper,,,sautéed in butter,,,,,,,,
no bagels so pan grilled some small wheat bread my oldest daughter made for our pig pickin' Sunday,,,,,
and served up,,,,,,,,
next up is one I have wanted to try for a while,,,,,,deer tongue,,,,,,
I like beef tongue (though haven't had it in years) and wanted to check out this piece of the deer,,,,,,,,,
washed and cleaned,,,,,butter knife is for size reference,,,,
then simmered in water with some carrots, salt, and pepper,,,,simmered for 45 minutes,,,,,,,
take out,,,,(cooked tongue is ugly isn't it?)
skin it (scrape with a blade and the skin slides off),,,slice it up and served with some deli mustard,,,, and chow,,,,,
it was good eating,,,,made me want more of it,,,,but heart is still my favorite,,,,,,,
