Salmon Berries - fish - grubs and whatever else they can find ....if I was hunting in August I would be looking for Salmon berry patches ...along creeks where they can get water ... :twocents:

Huckleberries  :tup: I have found a nice big patch of them, and they were tasty  :drool:

This is what I normally see for sign right when season starts.  They love the ants.  Unfortunately all the sign I find is about a week old when I find it.   :chuckle:
