What about wild strawberrys do they like wild strawberrys
Strange, I was under the impression that bears would consume berries wether they were ripened or not. We (humans) wait for berries to ripen because that is when they are at their peak of both nutrition and flavor. An unripened fruit may not be as palatable to us but does still offer some nutritional value (albeit less) to bears. I suppose it would just depend on wether or not their was another available food source that offered the same or more nutrition with less effort exerted to obtain. I'm in no way an expert on the forage habits of bears. More or less just rambling to mark this page. Like you I would like to hear more on this subject. If I'm way off base on the berries I would gladly accept correction on this matter. Hopefully some of our resident bear experts can enlighten us on this subject.
huge service berry and chokecherry crop. Mountain hucks are late, very late but present. Elderberry looks fine.
