This year a pumpkin vine wandered outside of our garden fence so a couple of pumpkins grew there. I noticed that something had chewed on them a little, but they were mostly left alone.

But then one day I noticed a large fresh new hole had been made in one of the pumpkins.

I wondered who or what was eating my pumpkin.

I did see Tim relaxing in the grass near the pumpkins. Was that a guilty look on his face?

| Hank the border collie and a pumpkin |
Hank also had also been seen by the pumpkins and he looked a little shifty-eyed to me. But there were other suspects. We see a lot of different species of wildlife including moose, bear, deer, coyotes, porcupines, squirrels, chipmunks and snowshoe hares.
We have a trail camera, so we decided to mount it on the fence to find out who was eating our pumpkins.

The next day one of the pumpkins was gone so I pulled out the camera chip to see who took the pumpkin and here is the video of the culprit:
