Cabeza de venado?

[Sheltowee]

Had some pretty good beef cabeza tacos last night and it got me to thinking about doing the same with deer or pronghorn. Would really like to start using every edible bit from what I shoot.

Anyone saving heads and cooking them whole (or otherwise)? If so, how are you preparing them?

Intriguing, but a no from me!

Prions are so tasty.

I pull the tongues, but I don’t think there’s enough cheek meat on a deer/elk/antelope to really make it worth it.

How are you doing the tongues?

Classic Mexican tacos de lengua, made with venison, beef or pork. If you only know one deer tongue recipe, this should be it.

Or I’ll get 4 beef cheeks and toss a tongue or two in with them on a batch of barbacoa.

Cooked plenty beef n pig heads/tongues but never tried deer….my only worry would be those nasty ass grubs in their sinuses that r in most of em down here.
Who knows, may add some flavor
