huckleberries

[PolarBear]

One of the few things that I miss about the Vail permit is my huckleberry spot. It’s only an hour drive but instead I have to go to my other spot in Idaho. Looks like I missed a banner year this year. Next summer I’ll head East and restock.

Why not buy another pass?

This is the only huckleberry I've ever known.  You'd have to pick a million of them to make anything usefull.

Had better luck with the huckleberries yesterday than we did with hucklebears.  Little Pathfinder and I got about a gallon.

Because other than the huckleberries, Vail sucks! Won't buy another Weyco permit until they do something about the rampant poaching by permit holders and brush pickers.

with all those seeds I’d say that’s mostly hawthorn berries

Actually a lot of service berries is more likely i guess.  Those suckers are seedy, and ive never found hawthorne on this mtn.

Found some in SW WA at 4000' yesterday.  Still a lot to come.  Salmonberries were loaded.  Topped off the huckleberry buckets.  Will have to check the hawthorns when get back to Kelly Hill.

they are so similar it’s hard to say. Majority of the service berries I find are in the hawthorn patches.  I can tell you those areas are a nightmare to recover bear in. They crawl in deep in the tunnels of 1-2” spikes.
