Wild Blackberries for dump cobbler
« on: July 04, 2016, 10:05:12 AM »
Combined a scouting trip with picking wild blackberries this morning. I will make a dump cobbler this afternoon just before dinner. I like it warm so the icecream melts on it.

Great pic!  Bumper crop this year.  Best picking of the indigenous wild blackberries I've experienced.  I've picked well over 4 gallon so far, had pie and good French Vanilla ice cream for breakfast.  They are twice s good as the invasive big Himalayan blackberries that have covered the PNW.

I've been picking blackberries for close to 40 years and this may be the best crop I've ever seen. We are at 12+ gallons and I can hardly sleep thinking about all of the ones just falling off the vine right now. The big shade berries will be on this week in my area too. This is also the earliest crop I've ever seen.

What are you doing on here when you should be out picking????

Took the cobbler to a cookout and it didn't last long. Served it warm with vanilla ice cream on it.

 Mouth watering! Very few of us left who appreciate these berries.

So if an east side wanted to venture west in pursuit of black berries where would be the best place to look?

Everywhere.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

roadsides and clear cuts.  they grow low or climb up stumps.  I even find them under plants like salal--don't even know you're walking in them sometimes.

You are killing me Ivan!!!!  The girls and I hiked a couple of miles on Saturday looking for berries.  We got a couple of hands full, enough to have on ice cream.  We did run into a bobcat and a "new" hunting spot and about a 60 acre spot that should be prime for berries in the next 2 years.

Baked a pie this morning and had a warm piece with French Vanilla ice cream for breakfast.  So good, I had a second piece.

Clearcuts, power lines and road rights of way are where I find these native berries.  All of mine have come from two clearcuts this year.   They like to grow over an old stump.  If you recall deer hunting a clearcut where long thin vines tangled your legs in October, go back to that place now.  If prospecting and didn't know where to find berries, I'd cruise a back road and stop often to look for them.  But I wouldn't spend much time nor go more than 20-30 yards from the road unless I found some.  My biggest size berries this year have come from southwest facing slopes semi-shaded by taller brush or small trees where the sun does not hit the blackberries till afternoon, but have found good berries on level flats, north facing and west facing slopes.
