Squirrel? Raccoon? Rabbit? Paw prints in one of my diary pics but looks like a raccoon or groundhog but none of the leaves or vines were eaten so guessing it isn't a groundhog.

After further examination it can't be a squirrel unless it is a huge breed.

Raccoon claw marks, and most likely squirrel gray or red getting the seeds I have seen it before

After seeing the other p1cs I would say raccoon then a follow up by squirrels. Sorry John..I know you and Kerry put a lot of time in. Did they leave you anything?

Racoon . Seen those marks before . Used to blame skunks scratching to get grubs until they were on top of a large pumpkin and knew a skunk would not get up that high.

Thanks everyone. We identified raccoon by looking at paw prints as well. Our 2 bigger pumpkins are scratched up but fine and the others we lost have back ups. We have a trap set up so hopefully will catch the culprit, or the neighbor’s cat:)

By looking at different size paw prints it may be Momma with her young.
