Mountain Ash timing
« on: September 03, 2018, 08:58:46 AM »
While Grouse hunting yesterday I stumbled on a clearcut that was full of Mountain Ash with lots of berries..  I hear bears love these and I've seen plenty of scat full of the berries in the general area, but can't recall the exact time of year. Does anyone know when the prime time is for bears and Mountain Ash?

One of the last things they eat..... especially if there is other food nearby.  At least that's what I've been told.

  • How do you measure trying, you do, or you don’t.

I’ve seen them decimated already on the west side, and no it wasn’t a bear.

Killed a blue later that day and his crop had them in it.👍
