Michigan here, once the pumpkin rots and softens the deer devour them, usually during our heavy snow late bow season

That’s what I’ve noticed too. They don’t eat on them much in October when they are still hard.

Oh man that's encouraging! We just placed some pumpkins down in our woods on a whim and hung a trail cam to see what comes to it! Never tried it before but now we're pumped to check the camera haha keep up the vids man!

I would agree....we are not seeing much activity in our standing corn. The deer seem to be in the Brassica, beans and clover/alfalfa. We just have a few pumpkins from our porch that the deer are eating that we discarded in the edge of the woods. Bob SWWI

I’ve seen deer in my corn on other properties. Like I said there’s not a ton of deer on this small property. But yeah the are crushing the brassicas hard now. December always seems to be the peak brassica month.

To start deer on pumpkins break 3-4 open and sprinkle dried molasses from the feed store on the inside. After that the deer will be on them. Greenish pumpkins will also get eaten with a little dry molasses. Turkeys don't eat them so they'll be around long enough for the deer

Thanks for the info. I have noticed some pumpkins munched on a little when they’re growing. But they don’t hit them to hard until after a couple frosts kill everything else.

Once the deer decided pumpkins were ok to eat on my west Kentucky property...each following year they started eating them earlier and earlier until they wouldn't even let the vines and pumpkin flowers grow. Hope they continue to stay away from yours until after you have a chance to sell your pumpkins.

I doubt we will run into issues that bad. We’ve been growing pumpkins out there for 3 yrs and almost 10 yrs on the family farm and only a couple get damaged every year.

I did see 1 or 2 that had a few bites out of them on a different property in our garden. The squash are pretty hard you would definitely need to break open a few to get them to eat them.

Generally the deer don’t hit my corn plots too hard until around this time of year. I’ll have better comparisons this winter. So far the coons have definitely hit my nutri crave harder than the regular ag corn. I was afraid of that.
