We were out in one of our yearly haunts for opening weekend, and went to check a salt lick on the way back to the truck. I knelt down by the lick to check the tracks, and noticed some smushed up berries right beside the salt lick. As I looked around, I realized we had placed the salt lick ( a few years back) right under a Muscadine tree and didnt even realize it! My question is: Do deer like these things? I am assuming so, since they have pillaged every persimmon tree I've ever come across. I've never seen one of these in the wild in TN before,but they are pretty common where i'm from in southern MS.

I've also only seen vines myself, but these grew off of a tree, just a few inches in diameter and maybe 12' tall. It wasn't attached to any other tree,and wasn't hanging. Maybe they weren't muscadines? They sure tasted like them!
 
Muscadines grow from vines, however the vines can get vary large sometimes. They also grow up trees appearing to be part of the tree.

Yep and the deer will definitely devour them!

That pic doesn't look like a vine, so maybe its something else.
Could be. I'm heading out on Friday. I'm gonna take some more pictures and bring a few back. We moved one of our cam's to that location,so maybe we'll get some deer feeding on them.
