newfie on gut pile.
 

While hunting in wmu 514 a friend of mine took a doe and left the gut pile on the side of the bush trail , as they came back from traveling down the trail they were shocked to see 2 guys going through the gut pile with there bare hands , when asked they were doing they said "we be looking far da hart and liver bye" is this a normal practice on the rock?

MMMMM..... normal practice anywhere. waste not want not

I have seen the Lungs eaten. I didnt have the guts to try, but I suppose I should have.

:sHa_sarcasticlol:

Do you mean you didn't have a gut pile to try it with..

Some of the best parts.... Heart stuffed with stovetop,, fresh liver and onions..

Accubond's got it right - nothing better than fresh liver n onions, or a stuffed baked deer heart

heart and liver
 

its good to mix in with your ground meat, a little more meat per animal. i would never look thru a found gut pile. what would the co's say if they found you with a deer heart and liver and no deer???

good stuff....

:sick:

Slow cooked heart with onions is delicious. It's usually the first thing I cook after harvesting an animal.

My buddy removed the heart and liver while feild dressing all that was left was intestines .

I don't think he is asking whether the heart and liver are good to eat,, I am sure everyone knows this.. I think he is asking if on "The Rock" it is customary for people to scavenge through old gut piles for food...

Zing! Walleyes makes me laugh.

I'm sure that when you said "newfie", you meant Newfoundlander right? Newsflash guys, newfie is an offensive term. I get P.O'd when people ask me if I'm a newfie, I always correct people when they use that word regardless of whether I know them or not. And to answer your question, no It's not a common practice to rip through a dirty old gutpile looking for hearts and livers, but to each their own!

I think you have it right Walleye - Folks this is just another newfie joke!!! - I hope!:)

I think walleyes is right, thats what I get out of it also.
I also grab the kidneys. My brother makes a killer steak and kidney pie

I am not sure if a person should be eating the liver or the kidneys from a buck in the rut. The heart is not an issue but I would be staying away from the liver and kidneys. Now an early season deer would be different but there are some chemical changes that go on during the rut and I beleive a person is supposed to stay away from them parts..

This is no joke , how come if one newfie calls another newfie a newfie its not a slur ? Good thing Albertans are just Albertans. With the threat of cwd in our deer herd handling the internal organs should be avoided as much as possible.

Were they fighting with the magpies?:lol:

Grizz

The magpies might have been on the menu also.

I don't care for liver so much anymore but I have "recovered" fresh liver and heart from a fresh gut pile (antelope).

Heart and oil and garlic with a little salsa in the slow cooker is so good.

Actually...if my memory serves me right, a couple years ago some guy want to get a vanity plate that read NEWFIE. he was initially denied because the term was deemed offensive. in the end, he got his plate, because the term was newfie was legally cahnged from an offense to a "term of endearment"

Just sayin lol...

im a newfie, and certainly not ofended when called one, in fact im very very proud as i should be!
i wouldent go scavenge some ones gut pile. however i would be taking theese organs from my own

So we're going back to the slurring on the forum again eh?

"A person" was retrieving organs, why do we have to identify a particular origin? And why would it matter!?

I was under the understanding that he included the term Newfie due to the fact that he was asking if this was general practice for people from Newfoundland.

"I get offended at being called a Newfie" Really? Of all the injustices in life that's what set's a person off?

Instead of having threads that are so offensive to people, we should all say absolutely nothing because some hypersensitive whiner with no real problems to go on about will get offended at what was never meant to offend anyone.

If you really think an injustice has been done, send a pm to the person and ask if they would be so kind as to retract a portion of it so your pillow does'nt get soaked.
And by the way, I'm not white, or causcasion I'm German' Irish but dont forget I'm not a Calgarian or Edmontonian or British Columbian, I'm from South western alberta but please do not shorten or elongate any of the terminoligy cause I will destroy your post when I feel like throwing a tantrum. When someone wants to let me know about the invalidity of my post due to the lack of care for spelling maybe you should just pm me.
I really try to get along with everyone and think to date I've only really ****ed off one other member but it's getting to the point where there are days when I want to give some of you a handfull of pennies so you can slap some sense into yourselves.

I apologize for derailing again. If this op was trying to make a joke I guess I missed it but do not retract my statements about the whining.

I have will eat pretty much anything but it should be from my own gut pile, you never know if there was just a raven eating off the pile that took a duece on the liver.

he asked because he is wondering if it is what most "Newfoundlanders" do. Because he is not out east. But I guess maybe he should have been more politically correct and said Easterners? or North Easterners? Is "from the rock" ok? :scared0018:

Funny thing, I saw the same thing on the "Old Conklin Road." I stopped and bs'd with the guys, found out that they were from "the rock" and asked what they might be rooting for in a gutpile(raven crap all over it). I was informed that they were looking for any organs that may have been left behind. Even funnier, I passed by the guys that were gutting out the moose two days ago. It happened to be two of our indigenous brethren, who to the best of my knowledge do not leave a whole lot behind when someone is watching. They had taken a cow & calf moose.

How about we chill out a little. If you're offended by being called a Newfie, you have serious personality problems, not relating to where you come from. Sorry, but your unique accent can't help but give you away.:lol: You guys eat cod tongues, don't ya?:lol: Ah, to each his own.

Grizz

And some people eat walleye cheeks.

newfie isnt an offensive term. give your head a shake man. news flash get off your mit.
