Here's a recipe I stumbled upon, bon appétit.
Deer's head, to cook
Knock off the antlers, and having made ready a good lot of wood ashes at the campfire, scrape part back; place the head on the hot ground, then cover it over well with the hot ashes, thick enough to bake. protect from the winds by a wall of sods, to windward if necessary, and add more fuel on top if required. When it is taken out in an hour or so according to the heat, the skin peels off, and you have the most deliciously baked head.
