Re: Who named them "deer"?
Paul, last year i spread my 625 and 430 pumpkins after weighoffs around my
deer stand area in small pieces. Within 3 days all fruit was gone from deer.
We watched 9 eating, but no bucks. So keep your eyes on your fruit, once
they have a taste they'll be back for more. Pumpkinpiper
