Then there was the buck that stood on its hind
legs, ate the bottom out of the garbage bag we
had food hung in (only against rodents as we weren't
really in country with habituated bears). The
bottom of the bag was, oh, maybe seven feet up, the
buck could just barely reach it and ignored my
shouts, rocks, pine cones, etc.

It only ate two things: a one-pound bag of (unpopped)
popcorn, and a big bag of home-made chocolate chip
cookies.
