Deer and elk liver are very good...so is buffalo liver.
I like to use as much from the animal that I can....be it for food..or the hide for clothing ( See my avatar )...the antlers for knife handles...etc....

my family always ate the liver from deer and elk. elk liver is delicious, deer liver not bad if from a younger animal. Buffalo liver is the best! i have seen gut piles with the liver still in there, what a waste of good food.

Boudin Blanc ...Waugh....there's a treat for a sure enough Mountain Man....

I understand that liver and such ain't to many's taste...but I do enjoy it from time to time.

I'm not huge into organ meat, I'll eat liver if there's not an alternative.

Liver, heart, nuts, tounge....I don't waste much. I'm not as hard core as Andy and tan my own hides or make knife handles out of the horns. I should probably do a purge on my antler collection, it would make my wife happy I'm sure

Tounge YA most overlooked part of the animal.

Tongue is damn good...especially in a stew or chilli....very tender.

when I fish I don't eat bait
when I hunt I don't eat guts
heard a man say once that the more an animal licks under it's tail the sweeter the meet [tongue]

He said "organ meat", in my best Beavis and Butthead voice "heheheheh"

i only eat liver when i harvest an animal during huntin season. the best way to eat liver is cooked rare with the blood still dripping. the indians used to eat buffalo liver raw hot from the animal. i haven't tried that yet but maybe if l ever harvest a buffalo.

Did that with the last elk I killed...but then I also was hunting for a tribal food bank...
Also killed that elk with an original flintlock rifle...circa 1800- 1820's.

Depends on the pack out. If I'm not TOO crazy deep into the wilderness, I'll save the organ meat, plus the tongue and hide for the last trip.

Lingua tacos are worth the effort of removing the tongue.

The liver and heart will get cooked and mixed into kibble or food for the dogs.

Did it thank you for killing it as its ancestors had been killed?

Well....no...

However the tribal elder I was with , was thankful...and impressed.
Also he liked how I gave thanks for a good clean kill...as well as a last bite given to the elk from the salmon berry leaves that were nearby.

It's a language I speak well, as I wish to be reincarnated as a Mexican.
