I couldn't see why not. If deer eat apples I think that a pear wouldn't be much different.

Hey Buck, yes deer absolutely love pears here in north Florida. In fact, I have a tree in my yard and I pick them and carry them to the woods where I hunt. Unfortunately, the bears love them too. For those who don't know it, we are absolutely infested with bears here, but the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission in their infinite wisdom, refuses to open a hunting season. We have many more bear-car collisions here than deer.
Good hunting

yes, My father lives out in the country. No timber for miles. When the corn is up I have seen two fawns come out of the corn to eat some ofthe pears that were on the ground.
