Those are absolutely not plum or apricot pits. The bear has been eating choke cherries.

Post by: n_mathews13 on September 03, 2014, 08:46:06 AM: Yeah, there are no plums or apricots in there. Pits are not big enough and there isn't any skins. But we do have chokecherries close by. Been seeing these in the crap around where iv been hunting and wondered what they were. Headn back up for 10 days come Friday!
