There used to be a type of "roughening" of wood known as "stippling" it used a textured punch to impress a rough, uneven pattern into wood for better grip. This looks a lot like that.
Here's Brownells current offering. Basically you make a bunch of slightly overlapping stamps with the end of the punch to create the "rough area".

Wow a "Saber-Toothed Jackelope" mean-looking little devil, how do you cook them?

I think I would cook one using a flame thrower or tiger torch...from a distance just in case the little bugger is playing possum with you. After seeing that picture I believe I will be having nightmares for the next few sleeps. I better sleep with a #4/Mk1 under the bed and a box of bullets next to it! LOL. Look at those red eyes...pure evilness!

Hoadie - While I agree with you that the heart of any animal is very good eating (One of my favourite "shop bought" meals is stuffed sheeps heart) a "heart and lung shot" for deer over here in the UK is the most common and "expected" shot to take on deer - Basically the "Norm" for UK deer stalkers/hunters.
Unfortunately a "heart and lung shot" does mean that even with an extremely well placed shot the beast will still run on and need to be tracked by the blood trail with a dog the biggest majority of cases. 
I prefer a head shot myself but there are risks involved in this type of shot and extreme accuracy and confidence are demanded to pull off a "head shot" correctly and consistently, but when executed (No pun intended) properly the beast will always fall on the spot and there is no meat damage.
Wounding is not an option!

well ... lets just say ... ive not yet met the mamal - either canine / feline / nor rodent - that i could not clean/cook/and eat , ive had an issue with certain fowl and with a reptile or two , but that may have been a preperation issue in the end , there are some aquadic species ill not eat and a few moluscs i choose not to , there are few vegetable and fruit i have an issue with , not to mention the fungus that are edible ive not warmed to , but in the end i dont think ill pick my shot based on an organ i like particulary as the giblets were never high on my list of essentials
