Yep -- Neighbor has about 40 acres of squash (pumpkin pie kind) every year and we get to watch the deer go out and eat holes in them once they get to a certain stage. I feed my sheep pumpkins and squash of all kinds - not too much difference in their grazing habits.

Here, there isn't much they won't eat, even the stuff that is supposedly deer "resistant" gets eaten, sprinkle some deer repellant on whatever your trying to protect and the deer think its just a delightful condiment...

Theres only one solution... I hear Sept. deer are especially delicious....

What won’t a deer eat, lol? I’ve put cameras on every producing tree down here and if it’s fruit or vegetable, they’ll eat it. I find it comical watching them eating pears. Thought about planting some jalapeños out in a field just to see if one would try it!
