Berry Identification
Can someone tell me what kind of berry this is please.
I've been eating more and more berries while hiking and hunting. 20200830_144739.jpg

I thought so too. Bear Berries!
They taste rather bland with tiny seeds inside.
There is another berry where I frequent of similar size but more red and shinny and taste quite sour. I need to take more pics.
Up near the Swan Hills where I hunt there is an endless supply of them.

^ ok, lingonberry then (or something cranberry), lol.
I tried the bear berries a few times and they always tasted like... leaves or no taste at all.
I still see cranberries (lingonberries) on the first photo and bear berries on the second, lol. Where I pick cranberries, they grow all mixed up with bear berries and you have to be careful looking at every berry you pick in order to pick only one kind. Still find a few bear berries later at home.
