Deer love pumpkins just as much as you love that pumpkin spice latte. Or maybe more.
From the little pumpkins to the big fresh ones, when you are through with your leftover pumpkins, let the deer eat them. The best way is to crack open the pumpkins. The bigger pumpkins may be hard for deer to crack and get at the soft orange insides. Leave the pumpkins near areas where you commonly see deer or on the edges of an open field.
Wild animals like rabbits, mice, groundhogs and squirrels also love to chow down on pumpkins.
