Can someone give me an accurate identification for these. The most common response from my coworkers is that it is a type of elderberry. Mainly i wanna know if bear would eat em??
-
I'm not a bear expert but I'm pretty sure a bear will eat just about anything. Main thing is to find the scat and see if you can decipher what they've been eating. But I wouldn't doubt they are eating them.

its not an elderberry they have jagged leaves. I cant for the life of me id them, to me they look like a type of wild grape not berry :tup:
-
Thinking along the same lines KC. Looks like a grape, but definitely not elderberry. Doesn't look like any of my grape leaves though, and not really a good representation of Oregon grape. Interesting
-
Indian Plum (Osoberry).
-
Got me on this one ...I always look for Blueberries and Mt. Ash Berries and Oregon Grapes when bear hunting but I never seen these type of berries ..look more like grapes of some kind .
-
Could be something domestic.. doesn't look like native plant (it's not Indian plum)
-
Not sure on this one, the leaves are close to a laurel. But the berries are def not laurel. Hmm

How high off the ground were they? Kinda look like salal berries

Saskatoon berries

I was back up there today and it doesnt look like anything has touched them since i took the pic a week ago.

Indian plum grows in clusters of only a few, salal berries have red leaves growing along with the bunches, saskatoons grow in clusters, still cant ID them. its gotta be a wild grape of some sort. here is one good page for ID but thats not on here. http://northernbushcraft.com/berries/ (http://northernbushcraft.com/berries/)
