RE: Anyone try pumpkins for deer
if you haven't tried pumpkins, then you are missing out. we wait until after halloween vs. growing them, and then go to the growers/sellers. usually, they give them to us, and we put out a minimum of four truckloads. we don't break them up, just let nature take her course with the frost. after enough freezing and thawing cycles they get a bit soft, and the deer tear into them. they also like them frozen. coombine that with a load of apple pumice from the local cider mill, and you have an almost unbeatable attractant. since most places will give them to you after halloween, i wouldn't wast the space growing them when you could use it for something different.
