CanoeViking	08/20/2018 11:13PM   Wild rose for sure.
huntfun2	08/20/2018 08:17AM   What type of plant/berry or flower is this guy?
egknuti	08/20/2018 08:26AM   Wood Rose. And that is the “hip.” Very edible but don’t eat the seeds.
huntfun2	08/20/2018 08:33AM   Thanks! I wasn't about to eat that little devil, he looked like trouble to me.

Mocha	08/21/2018 06:52AM   what they all said. there is also some wives tale about the size of the hip indicating the type of winter coming. big hips... big snows....
