TIM. Thanks for the link, I read both pages. I love fried deer liver N onions too, with mashed taters and gravy. We eat liver rarely because of cholesterol. When out of deer liver we buy beef liver from Kroger. Bought some at walmart a few years back and it was like shoe leather, never again. I ate heart years ago but can't get my wife to try it. Now ya made me hungry. POWDERMAN.

Deer liver?  Yum-yum!    After bagging a deer the next day we always boiled the heart, sliced it up for lunch time sandwiches.(good as roast beef) the liver we had for supper.Fried with bacon and onions .     Horsefeathers.

I love Whitetail deer liver, it tastes better than beef and is mild as chicken liver. I usually fix it medium with some of the blood still cooking out; I think it turns to "shoe leather" if you over cook it. I can't say I've ever seen a liver "fluke"  (of course that might have been the liver that gave me all the stomach problems ).

Seeing a deer liver full of flukes is something you'll remember, but I still eat deer liver. I fry it more or less the same as everyone else, except I use buckwheat pancake flour instead of white flour and fry it outside to keep the War. Dept. happy.

Cut it into strips, maybe about the size of your thumb.  Salt, pepper, powdered sage.  Put some sliced water chestnut on them.  Partially cook some bacon to render out some of the fat and cook it maybe half way.  Wrap that around the liver strips.  Put 4 to 6 of those on skewers (double up the skewers so the pieces don't twirl around), or use a tooth pick to hold them together.  Broil or cook on a grill until the bacon is crisp.

Fresh deer liver and heart was always on the menu in deer camp until my heart doctor told me to stop.  I would dip it in a mixture of salt, pepper and egg then shake in a plastic bag with pancake flour and fry in bacon grease with onions and green peppers, the coonasses I hunted with wanted rice and gravy to go with it so thats how I cooked. 
 
Today it goes out with everything else as I field dress the deer.

I usually keep 1 mess of liver and heart from the deer we get.The wife fries the liver in onions and cuts the heart into strips and rolls it in flour and fries it.Maybe not the healthiest for you but sure is good.
