Thank you Sir, I don't come from a hunting family so I am learning on my own. I've been into shooting for a couple years now. And i love hiking and camping, so being a Chef, Harvesting game myself is naturally the next step. I'm looking forward to getting out there.

Welcome.
What would you do with a deer heart? How would you prepare it? Assuming I fill a tag this year, I'd like to try it...

I ate a little heart a few days ago. My buddy had a turkey that we grilled, including the heart, Liver, and Kidneys.
For a deer heart I would Keep it simple to enjoy the flavor of the Offal and not smother it. clean it real good of all the silver skin and fat cap. Half it and clean out any of the veins or vessels and butterfly it out a bit so it is about an even thickness in order to cook more consistent.
Than I would marinade with some fresh thyme and rosemary.(1 part rosemary to 4 parts thyme as rosemary can overpower ) grape seed oil just to coat and cracked black pepper .Let it sit in the fridge for a couple hours but do not salt till immediately before cooking as salt has the tendency to pull the moisture our of things, and nothing worse than dried meat. than I would grill over a hot fire of mesquite and red oak till MR-MED. Than allow the meat to rest for a few minutes so all of the juices can calm down and not run away when you slice this bad boy!! Right before you slice, squeeze a lemon or squirt a bit of red wine vinegar over the meat and slice THIN. add a touch of finishing sea salt on top (if you wish). and enjoy with a cold beer!! Damn I'm hungry.
That sounds awesome! We have a Cooking/Food section on the forum; looking forward to seeing some of your recipes etc. Welcome to SCH!!!
