What the hell is up with that? I've heard this from people before and just heard Sean Hannity talk about it in his Ted Nugent interview a few minutes ago. Where do people get these idiotic ideas?

Maybe it's all those Deer Blood Drinking Mugs that Cabela's carries.

|
the movie red dawn...and if its in the movies it must be true :)
|
|
Uhhhh. BTDT.
14 years old. My first deer. You also got your face painted with it. |
|
It comes from the "I don't hunt and I want it banned" crowd. This is the same crowd that thinks "Bambi" is a documentary. They fabricate this sort of thing from whole cloth. To the misinformed, uninformed, ignorant, and truly stupid it has the ring of possibility at first glance. God must love the truly stupid. He made so many of them. |
|
|
Drink the blood? Shit all these years I was brought up that you had to stuff it in the pooper after it was dead.
|
|
Post your pics. |

Hunters often honor the animal they have harvested. They sometimes smear its blood on the face of a newly
initiated hunter. My friends and I honor our harvested game by offering it a sprig of food and praying a thoughtful prayer that it's death will nourish us. To each his own. |

Some women have parties and eat the afterbirths of their kids.

The guys working in the slaughterhouse must get mighty full.

WTF???? Sauted in a little butter! |

That is what I've always heard around here in my 45 years. Danny |

Cooking Your Placenta!
Cooking Your Placenta! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are several sumptuous recipes around so that you can enjoy cooking and eating your placenta; this one is for roasting it:- Work on the basis that each placenta weighs approximately 1/6 of the baby's weight. To prepare a placenta, cut the meat away from the membranes with a sharp knife. Discard the membranes. Roast Placenta 1-3lb fresh placenta (must be no more than 3 days old) 1 onion 1 green or red pepper (green will add colour) 1 cup tomato sauce 1 sleeve saltine crackers 1 tspn bay leaves 1 tspn black pepper 1 tspn white pepper 1 clove garlic (roasted and minced) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Preheat oven to 350 degrees) Chop the onion and the pepper & crush the saltines into crumbs. Combine the placenta, onion, pepper, saltines, bay leaves, white and black pepper, garlic and tomato sauce. Place in a loaf pan, cover then bake for one and a half hours, occasionally pouring off excess liquid. Serve and enjoy! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dehydrating your placenta! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Instead of cooking your placenta whole, you can dehydrate it and then add it to meals! The following method is extracted from an article entitled "Thinking About Eating Your Placenta?" by Susan James, which appeared in the winter 1996 issue of "The Compleat Mother". It was discovered posted on a newsgroup noticeboard, so we cannot absolutely guarantee its authenticity, or that it is an actual verbatim account of the magazine article. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Cut off the cord and membranes. Steam the placenta, adding lemon grass, pepper and ginger to the steaming water. The placenta is "done" when no blood comes out when you pierce it with a fork. Cut the placenta into thin slices (like making jerky) and bake in a low-heat oven (200-250 degrees F), until it is dry and crumbly (several hours). Crush the placenta into a powder - using a food processor, blender, mortar and pestle, or by putting it in a bag and grinding it with rocks. Put the powder into empty gel caps (available at drug and health food stores) or just add a spoonful to your cereal, blender drink, etc. The recommended doses vary, some suggest up to 4 capsules a day, others just one. Perhaps the best advice is to take what makes you feel good". If you think this is bad, try looking at the following website which has a section called Umbilical Cord Care/Placenta Questions! If anyone has tried eating their placenta - dried or otherwise, perhaps they could let us know what it was like?! |

I thought only Count Dracula drinks the blood of its victim.
How appropriate, just in time for Halloween. |
|
Sorry never heard of that. Honestly, it sounds pretty stupid. |
||
|
oooOOOOOOOHH MY GOD! |
||
|
|
|
I never did it. Danny |

|
Okay... when I go hunting, count me out of that... seems like not only a good way to catch a terrible disease, but also... disrespectful to the dead deer.
|
|
Year later a physician buddy of mine scared the shit out of me by telling me about all the interesting blood-borne parasites, creepies and crawlies I probably picked up that day. I saw it done numerous times to new hunters - our only rule was it was done only if we'd had the first frost of the year since supposedly that killed all the bugs. |
|||
|
What was that guy who wrote Red Dawn smoking when he wrote that stuff? i never heard of drinking deer blood until that movie. |
||||
|
After I kill a deer it get strapped to my car taken home and gutted, I don't even bother to ask it it's thoughts on hunting before I shoot it. OF course I don't really like hunting all that much, and mainly go because deer is way cheaper than Beef.
|
|
Of those who have "never heard of it" do you even hunt?
All the kids I knew growing up at least had the blood smeared on their faces, and many drank the blood of their first kill. |
|
Very stupid idea. |
|
|
Frost will NOT kill off blood borne pathogens. |

This is my 32nd year of deer hunting and I've always smeared the blood on a hunter's face for his/her first kill, but I've never heard of anyone drinking the blood. I have no problem with it--no biggie really, but I've never heard of it. I watched Red Dawn several times, and don't even recall that scene (it's been several years since I watched it). <shrug> Oh, if anyone thinks a first freeze is going to kill any blood-born parasites (not sure there even is such a thing)--a deer is warm-blooded and will not have chilled blood. |
|
|
I'm a city kid - the first and last time I ever heard of it was from "Red Dawn" as well.
|
|
What? Y'all don't cut the heart out and eat it while it's still warm?
CR |
|
Yeah... about $2 for a deer is a lot cheaper than $2 a POUND. Not to mention, it tastes good, too. |
|
|
very stupid post. Why is it stupid? Why do you care? Do you even hunt? Does any of this affect you in one way or the other? I knew at least a dozen kids that did it, and none of them got sick. Most anything that would make you sick would be killed by the stomach acids anyway. |
||
|
And much better for you! Lean and no injected shit. I have never drank the blood but I have had it smeared on my face though. |
||
|
Some of it tastes great, but my family has put there foot down, if I bring in another ounce of deer cube steak I will be sleping in the woods. Other wise we like it fine. |

Hey, here it is from a serious hunter. There are basically a couple of pretty nasty things you can catch from drinking the blood (or getting it into an open wound or mucous membrane). The first is trichinosis, which is a larval parasite that lives in the blood and meat of game animals. The second is called brucellosis, and is a bacterial nasty that you can get. Don't drink the blood of wild game, or eat raw or uncooked meat of primarily wild game, but also domestic animals as well. This is by far the best way to avoid getting these. Hopefully that doesn't start a flame war. Just an FYI. And yes, as kids we all got blood painted on our faces for our first kills, just didn't drink it.
If that doesn't scare you, there's always CJD, which is mistaken for Chronic Wasting Disease transmission. This is basically the result of cumulative acquiring of the "mad cow disease" prion usually by eating brain or spinal matter of infected primarily domestic animals. Though similar to mad cow disease/CJD, there have been no documented cases of Chronic Wasting Disease (primarily deer species) being transmitted to humans (which is a good thing). Hopefully this helped. snf |

Excuse me. Have you seen my wifes placenta? |
|
|
Do you live close to where you hunt? We always gut it in the field, and it's only going as far as the barn. We save the heart and liver but everything else gets left for the scavengers. |
|
|
I've heard of women doing it to stop hemmoraging, but never at a party. That's just sick. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... |
|
|
Ive eaten the heart from ducks I killed. Just throw it on the grill real quick, yum yum.
|
|
I have heard of both and seen face painting with blood . The whole drinking thing involved adults and alcohol IIRC and I wouldn't do. The face painting big tradition, almost a transition to manhood thing. Look forward to a couple of smears of blood on my kids faces in the next few years. small tangent: Prince William with a little blood |
|
I actually live about an hour away, I go to my parents to process the deers, they live less than ten minutes away, I also don't hunt far from the road, so it is rarely more than 20-30 minutes from the time it is shot until it is hung and being cleaned. If I for whatever reasons have to bring it to my house I bring a very large ice chest and fifty pounds of ice, field dress and quarter it. ETA: Besides the health hazards of not processing a deer quickly it seems to cause the meat to taste to gamey for my taste (I guess it being partially spoiled will do that). |
|
|
As I said before, very stupid thing to do. Read what you can catch above. And yes, I have hunted in the past. The operative word in your post is: kids. Kids do stupid things. |
|||
|
In Texas we don't drink the blood but we always get the dying quivers, while the deer is still warm.

I overlooked this watching RD as a child... Then when I bought it on DVD & heard that line I immediately thought, "Yeah, it's called LYME DISEASE! Something will be different about you afterwards." |
