So, I got to go out Saturday to my favorite spot. The canyon has lots of choke cherries in it, normally. The bushes I saw only had a few green berries on them. I didn't see the volume of berries I normally do on the bushes. Is this a sign of a bad choke cherry year or have you all noticed a good crop this year so far?
We're the bushes/branches tore up and broken ? I've noticed that the chokecherries behind my house were like that a couple years ago. Seems like the bears avoid them now. Also, all the chokecherries around here still look like green olives with no ripe ones yet. I've seen other bushes that have a ton of non-ripe berries on them........... :dunno:

They didn't seem tore up at all. Just not very many green berries or berries at all. I'm planning to go back in a few weeks, I hope that's enough time to let them ripen up]]]
I think the bears kill the chokecherry bushes. Mine are all dried up and horrible looking. They've been that way for 3-4 years.

JKEEN came over 3 years ago and I got him into 3 bears at ONE time, all together. Also 1 Bobcat, he missed.
Ribka came up last year and we saw 1 bear right on the road 25 feet from us, he said it was too small. It was good enough for me, but I couldn't get my 338 Federal away from his ear........ :chuckle:
September is good to come over.
