RE: LEARNING LIFE'S LESSONS - DON'T LOSE THE HARVEST

I'm envious of your lifestyle. Do you eat any of it raw? I hear that wild animals living in natural habitats are safe to eat raw; they're the most nutritious, especially their livers, brains and other offal.

livers are the filter for any creature, yummy if you wish to eat toxins ;-)

Have a looksie here: https://chriskresser.com/natures-most-potent-superfood/

A popular objection to eating liver is the belief that the liver is a storage organ for toxins in the body. While it is true that one of the liver’s role is to neutralize toxins (such as drugs, chemical agents and poisons), it does not store these toxins. Toxins the body cannot eliminate are likely to accumulate in the body’s fatty tissues and nervous systems. On the other hand, the liver is a is a storage organ for many important nutrients (vitamins A, D, E, K, B12 and folic acid, and minerals such as copper and iron). These nutrients provide the body with some of the tools it needs to get rid of toxins.

Yes, these are saying what a great source of nutrients are available. In your last link, it says...

Research Highlights
► Red Deer meats are a good dietary source of Se, Cu and Zn. ► The consumer can also benefit from the Co, Cr and Mn present. ► These benefits may outweigh any risks associated with Cd from metallothioneins in organ meats.

I couldn't tell you tbh. I don't have access to the full study; only the abstract. They studied 20 deer in Poland. I don't know if the background to this study had anything to do with a chemical spill of some sort or just a general population thing. The result shows that it's safe to eat the organs of deer.
