have a heart-need help

i guess all you guys missed the heart when ya shot huh?
RJ, Try as i might, I never hit a heart in all the times my bullet splits the skull or neck...

My buddy and I were out and he shot a little 4 pointer... with a .300 Ultra Mag:eek: Man!!! Them guts were red jello! I couldn't hardly tell the difference in heart, liver or lungs... Nothing but red frothy mush in the ol' pump house!:D

'Cause it was warm, the few deer that were moving were moving. I yelled at my guy for what seemed like 15 or 20 seconds before he stopped for an instant, so I was pretty happy with double-lung from a kneeling position at the distance. ;)

I cooked the heart for the first time this year too. Sliced it, marinated it, tried to dredge it in flour but unfortunately my "batter" just ended up as burnt carbon on my frying pan. The onions and peppers sweetened it a bit. The meat was mild and looked good, but unfortunately I erred on the safe side in preparation and it ended up rubbery.

Perhaps I will try liver next year.
 
Heart or liver either one, boil in salt & preferred herbs, then smoke. I'll slice the lever before smoking, but only cut the heart in half & slice after smoking.

After smoking eat heart slices as a snack or on a sandwich, but I grind the liver then mix with mayo & onions for a sandwich spread. (I guess grind is not the proper word - I use the wife's food processor)
