    Never have. I knew a couple guys who did it as a "rite of passage" on their first kill. I think I'd have purposely missed. One guy I know had to take a bite out of the heart. Now, deer heart is delicious, but I prefer mine cooked. Another guy had to carry the buck's , ummmm...genitalia around on his back after his first buck. Lotsa weird hunting traditions out there. I'd drink the blood or eat the raw heart if I was starving, but I think I'd pass on the last.......

    Any one that drinks blood is asking for serious problems.Especially in this day and age.Alot of disease are carried in the blood of these animals, for instance Rocky Mountain fever has been in the news of late, transmitted to humans by mosquitos, ticks and fleas from infected squirels in turn transmit diseases to deer and other game animals.There are other blood parasites which are ingested by elk, moose and cattle when grazing.These are all blood born, and in some case, people that have contracted these diseases have died.With the knowledge we have today of hygiene and food preparation, why risk it, there plenty of other good nutritous foods available, drinking blood in my opinion is like doing drugs.If your healthy why risk it?

    Turbo- I'm no chancre mechanic (Doc) but doesn't contaminated blood have to come into contact with your own in order to infect you? Not only that, but the naturally occurring enzymes in you digestive tract would begin to break down any harmful pathogens (I know, Matt's using the college dictionary again....) you might ingest.Having said that, I don't think I would be too wild about drinking raw blood in vampire-like quantities, however I have had a slice or of raw liver after inspecting it for signs of disease/infection.(If that turns yer stomach, don't ask me about the time I was the best man at a Loatian wedding).

    Anyone, Please Explain this to me. Why would you eat something That has the sole purpose of ridding the toxins out of the body. That is all that the liver is for, why do you think it is so cancer prone. Eating the one organ that holds every disease that the animal will have. I won't eat liver cooked, let alone raw. My reason for noteating it cooked anymore is b/c when i was a toddler my sister had something wrong with her blood that made it to where we needed to eat liver 3-4 times a week for like 3 yrs. I have not eaten any since. I think it makes better fish and trap bait.songdog

    This is kinda gross. Few years back was watching a couple of friends working some deer while muzzleloader hunting. After taking a nice doe, I was driving up to them and I saw one kneel down, and within 20 seconds this guy had the heart in his hand. He held it up with his head tilted back and squeezed out a big old gulp. Gave it to the other guy and he did the same. I got out of the truck and they tried handing it to me. I told them both no f'ing way. They looked at ME like I was wierd or something! I guess it wouldn't have been so bad but later during the great dinner my wife made I noticed one guy hadn't bothered to wash the blood clots out of his beard. Any of you have friends like this or is it just me?

    Many imagrant's from Poland and Germany would make Blood Sausage...saw it made once, lost my appetite for it.Eating the liver? That's the garbage strainer of the body...either cooked or raw.Sounds like a bunch of hunters with Vampire tendencies or the effects of too much adult beverage.

    Never drank it raw, but I do leave the blood in the meat when I grind it for sausage or ground meat, that's where all the flavor is...also the heart is good when fried in butter along with the inner loins cooked until the blood just starts to come out on the surface,same with the backstraps cooked until the blood just starts to come out on the surface, medium rare,yum-yum

    I bit a deers heart one time. I convinced myself that I was absorbing the animals spirit. I still tell people that I do it everytime just to watch the expressions on their faces! One chick I work with wants me to take her on my next hunt so she can do the same.

    Visiting my aunt in Finland a few years ago, went to the fridge and found a cardboard milk quart container with the Finnish words "Fresh Blood" and a comical cow cartoon just like a milk carton. She used it for blood pancakes, blood sausage, etc...Wouldn't want to come home late after an evening of drinking and grab the wrong container by accident.

    Matt45,I'm no brain surgeon, but while working as emergency medical tech. in he fire service I did pay attention in some the classes.What you refer to is a bit of political rhetoric, that has been spread around by the government and the liberal bias media to make you feel at ease around homosexuals and the spreading of aids disease and other communicable diseases to keep you the rest of the public from panicing.Songdog, and Rembrandt, and a couple of others, have hit the nail on the head. the liver is an organ that can be compared to the oil filter in the internal combustion engine.Whithout going back to the books, and off the top of my head.I remember something about certain worms that lay eggs in water, or in the grasses that are consumed by these animals, and in their larval stage are able to bore thru flesh, or enter the blood stream to find their home in the host, some are like ring worm, others lodge themselves in the heart, and yet others eat the brains of there hosts, others live in the stomaches, they all cause illness in these animals one way or another, because anything that eats excretes, the blood is what cleanses and fights the infections.The liver filters these impurities, and is continually flushing these wastes out of the body.Some diseases that are a mystery to medical science, today could very well be caused by eating foods that have not been properly prepared, so why risk it?I like liver and onions, but I wouldn't eat it raw. Proper food preparation prior to comsumption, has got to improve the odds of a better quality of life.PS Trychenosis has killed alot of people, that have eaten uncooked livers and meat of pigs and bears.Also, in my last post I said squirrels infect deer, I was implying the the mosquitoes, fleas and ticks, infect one (squirrels) and then the other (deer).[This message has been edited by turbo (edited 12-23-2001).][This message has been edited by turbo (edited 12-23-2001).]

    Remember those statements about hunters "assuring themselves of their masculinity"? And about how hunters are all wife beating sadistic scum? And hunting is a sign of "psychosexual" inadequacy" or some such lunacy? Maybe there are some things you just shouldn't discuss in public. Might be perfectly normal to you, but tends to get twisted in the wrong hands.

    Sheesh....for a board full of grizzled vets, a whole bunch of you still seem to have the intestinal fortitude of a 13-year old girl.Eeeeewwwuu! Grossssse!I personally love liver and eat it usually once a week. Chicken, cow, veal, deer, rabbit, its all good. I'm partial to the brain, eyes, and heart as well, but I dont want to gross you out or anything :-)For my birthday this year my wife cooked me one of my favorites: deep fried rabbit liver dipped in hot sauce. Mmm mmm good.I figure it hasnt killed me yet, and regardless of what the wacko health nuts say, I defy you to find one case of cancer or bloodborne disease or any other such nonsense directly caused by eating cooked animal liver. Note the cooked: I dont advise eating it raw either.I seriously doubt you will ever find one. People have recognized the liver as THE most overall nutritious organ that can be found in an animal. It is packed with iron, B vitamins, folic acid, zinc, etc.When your momma made you eat it as a kid, she did it for a reason. So dont feed into the Liberal-propaganda garbage about it being bad for you.If you believe that, you may as well throw away that steak and live off lettuce for the rest of your days, because they've already won.Note: Dont eat any part of a rabbit or squirrel raw. Tularemia isnt fun. Go look it up.Life is Short: Eat Liver[This message has been edited by Bullzeye (edited 12-23-2001).]

    Turbo-(& others)We may just have to chalk this up to agreeing to disagree.Inasmuch as I respect the fact that you are a fully accredited EMT, I hardly think that the SF Qual Course for 18D (Medic) is anything close to a haven for homosexual-loving liberal drivel. You may have noticed that in my post I referred to ensuring that there was no obvious signs of disease. I am not completly reckless, I just really do enjoy the taste of liver "fresh out of the oven". Yes, I know the Trichina worm begins and remains mostly microscopic during it's life cycle. Trichanosis is mostly found in pork and other animals that are omnivores- and although I ain't Marty Stouffer, I don't think deer catch them sorts of afflictions.The liver is the body's "oil filter", but the human body also has methods of repairing itself and of flushing out those impurities, i.e. fecal matter and urine.Look, call me nuts, stupid, whatever- somethin's gotta getcha and I ain't gonna spend a minute worrying about what does. I've been in "in theater", traded shots with the bad guys, watched a friend get wasted and have figured out that life is one big lottery, and everyone's playing. When yer number's up, it's up. Mom-Mom You are absolutely correct, so I'm going to shut up now and put on my tinfoil hat.

    Let's see how quick we can get this thread poofed...I believe it says in the BIBLE (poof word) that the blood is sacred and should be 'rendered to back to god' (Poured out). Matt might be right about being unable to catch a disease from drinking blood, but then again, would you drink the blood from an animal that you knew was infested with AIDs? I don't think I would.
