Not intentionaly. I tried to grow some atlantic giants ( 1000lb variety) last year and every time I got a pumpkin to around 40 lbs the deer would locate it on the side of my clover plot and eat a good portion of it. They never ate the whole pumpkin, just enough to kill the fruit off and then they were back at the clover and powerplant again. I guess it serves me right for planing pumpkins along my food plots. (deer like variety too)
