Oh please do tell... Is there something I am not aware of about the similarities of a pumpkin and a deer??

I know that a pig is an excellent stand-in for a human, and I've heard about other accurate substitutes for various things, but a pumpkin for a deer? Never heard that one.

I just posted a while ago about a penetration problem at 35 yards so I have a lot of interest in this.
