deer liver

Anyone think this would be ok catfish bait? A buddy bagged a deer, and instead of buying chicken livers, i asked for the deer liver. I was thinking of dousing it with strawberry koolaid and catching a mess of eater channels. Any thoughts?

I seen a guy at ky lake use deer liver on a trotline he said very hard to get off of line and he would catch alot of channelcats

I've been using it for years. Tastes good too!

I tried it without any luck. My neighbor hunts and I've asked him again for another liver to give it one more try.

Hello Captain Troll!



Never used deer liver, but I suspect it would work.

Pretty tatey cooked with onions too.

Catfish aren't picky. I have used squirrel hearts with success as well.

should work fine. Back when i used to groundhog hunt, people were always wanting their liver, and their hearts to use for catfish bait. They both eat about the same thing, corn, clover,
and acorns. I have found the hearts stay on the hook better. Tr

i have used it acouple times with no luck

Saute` that sucker in some onions and feed the catfish something else!:D

Does anyone have an outstanding recipe for cookng deer liver they would share? Thanks.

Liked it better than beef or chicken liver, but not enough to keep it.. Deer heart on the other hand, love it..

Heart was a bit chewy. Liked liver and onions pretty fine though.
