Deer love pumpkins...

In case you didn't know it, deer love pumpkins.  I now make it a point to put my pumpkins out for them when I take down my fall displays.  I was ready with the camera today and got some shots of this little spike enjoying his pre-Thanksgiving treat...




 He must have liked it the way he is licking his lips.   
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as he enjoyed the pumpkin.

  7. Looks about like the goats when they get pumpkin! I'm sure they appreciate it, and the raw seeds are good anti-parasitics. :-)

  8. Is he beautiful. A real treat for him no doubt. It makes me wonder how they find enough to eat in the winter.

  9. Wonderful that you treat the deer, I miss living where they are - we live on a busy corner and they are not here if they are wise.
    I save the pumpkin seeds for the squirrels, they are fun to watch (they drive my dogs nutso).

  10. I love the colors in the photographs, the gray all around and then just the orange of the pumpkin. I wish I had some deer to feed my pumpkins to my chickens just look at me like I am nuts. Like " you expect me to eat that?"
    It really is so pretty.

  14. This series of photos are delightful. He is smacking his lips! I feel like helping him with his feeding - imagine eating without the use of paws unlike dogs.
