Deer

I have a question about the Deer thing.. My daughter has 2 plants growing in the middle of our horse pasture.. no fence around them.. the horses graze right up to the plants but not into them and the deer.(which graze in the pasture with the horses) never seem to go near them... is this just a Georgia deer thing our what? Do only northern Deer eat pumpkin? The plants are about 20 feet from the woods on one side..

Ok Guys, I need your help. We finally have pumpkins set on all of our plants and the vines are still running really fast. We have tried to keep the plants trimmed like a Christmas tree, but I am not sure how long to let the main vine get. Most of the plants have a main vine which is about 20 feet long. How long do you let them get before you stop letting them run?
We have a couple plants which keep having all new growth trimmed nightly by the deer, even with blood meal on the plants the buggers eat the growth and the new pumpkins. But that is another problem.
Thanks for the help. Best wishes to all. Bill and Lorraine Garvey
