	That is a great picture , looks like a beautiful day , I would guess with the silo in the back ground that those deer have been feeding on corn or alfalfa all summer , it also looks like the dog has been eating well too . Please share your story on how you bagged your deer with that great looking rifle .

	I used to work on that farm summers when I was in high school and few years after full time. Cows are gone now and the land rented. Over 300 acres of corn now. Monday was the third day of rifle season and 24° in the morning. I hadn't seen a deer the two days previous. I still-hunted up a valley about as far as I could go and stood watch in a good spot. The wind had come up a little and by 9:40 I was pretty cold and decided I'd stick it out 'till 9:45. In a few minutes I saw this doe coming directly at me, very slowly, through sparse brush. I lost sight of her for a few minutes and when I saw her again she was about 25 yds away. She dropped in her tracks and I wasn't cold anymore.

	Young deer, yes; old doe not so much, pretty chewy.

	Just wondered. Surprising to me how many people here don't eat liver. Fresh deer liver I find excellent. We ate a lot of liver growing up. It was a real treat to fry fresh liver and onions on the campfire. My neighbor shot a nice buck a couple weeks ago. He threw the liver away. He got a blank stare. I'm hoping he gives me a liver next year.

	Funny, in my family we never ate liver.... except in deer camp! I love coarse liverwurst and had a nice smoked version of it on a roll for lunch. Here is Germany it is advised that hunters not eat deer liver from wild game due to cadmium. The autobahns surround all areas where game live. Currently it is also advised to not eat wild boar in many areas due to the fall-out from Chernobyl. Since the explosion in 1986 they are only now becoming more aware of the spread. My team was in the woods (Southern Belgium) on a training mission at the time of the explosion. We had a unauthorized transistor radio along to monitor real-world news. When we heard about the explosion we sent a message back to HQ asking about the situation (the cloud). The answer was quite short; "Its all around you but not over you, don't drink the water"

	What bullet did you use in your 40-2 1/2? I finally have my Hepburn and Sharps in that caliber shooting a 330 grain patched bullet cast out of 40:1. I was supposed to take them elk hunting this year but came down with Kidney stones a week before my hunt the first of October and am still fighting them as we speak! Tom

	As part of their waste-not-want-not philosophy, my mother cooked not just liver but heart, tongue, brain, and all the other edible "wobbly bits". And if mom and dad seemed to enjoy them, I never learned to, even liver. My late wife, however, would cook or order liver and onions every chance she got.

	My neighbor shot a buck this fall. I knew he didn't like liver so I asked if I could have it. Said he threw it away. Said he threw it out out back. Wouldn't tell me where so I didn't get any liver. I would have warshed it off and ate it. My neighbor must really hate liver. I grew up eating liver. I like liver. They don't sell liver in the super market here in town. Same day Elk and Deer liver is fabulous, if you like liver that is.

	My great uncles loved squirrel brains and scrambled eggs. I managed to avoid their breakfasts and I never even saw how they extracted the brains. Just lucky, I guess.

	I cut a deer liver in half and gave each beagle a half for dinner. Next morning they were both dead in the kennel. Never ate liver again…..and never will.

The liver's job is to filter the blood and break down poisonous substances, most commonly alcohol and drugs in humans. But therein lies the rub. In wild animals and even in some carelessly fed "domestic" ones, we don't know what they frequently ate. And that's why in my opinion one should be very careful about the liver one eats.

I'd be willing to bet you dislike liver more than my neighbor. I didn't think it possible. Billions and billions of humans have eaten liver with no problem. Now two beagles are dead. My God, the humanity!

	After giving it some thought, the two Beagles fought over the liver and killed each other. Dogs will kill for liver.

	Sorry for your loss! Liver is highly nutritious. The problem is its high in vitamin A. 3oz has over 4x the daily allowance. Vitamin A toxicity can be fatal.

	Joe, you are mean. Here's a few things I found on deer liver: It's important to feed liver to dogs in moderation, as excessive consumption can lead to vitamin A toxicity. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services and the DNR recommend people do not eat liver harvested from deer within the advisory area.

	In the last two weeks I have eaten liver three times, well sort of... As a kid my grandparents used to really like the small canned potatoes for frying. I can't remember what they ate them with other than onions but I remembering liking them as well. Recently I noticed bottles of the potatoes in the market so I bought one. Figured I would fry them along with a couple of eggs cooked over-easy. The butcher counter had some nice looking "country style" liver wurst so I bought half of a ring. The country style is coarse, not like a paste and generally well seasoned and smoked. Got home, cut up the potatoes, threw them in a pan with some butter, sale and pepper and when that was ready I added in a big chunk of the liver wurst and cooked the eggs along side. Damn was it good. Ended up with the same dinner that night an a few days later I did a repeat. Probably need to do it again in the next day or two. I would have already done an encore but I marinated a 5lb chunk of beef over the past week for corned beef so I am sort of concentrated on that right now...
