Went hunting near Cleburne and was cleaning my white wings and the necks were filled with large re/purple berries.

Any idea what they could be?

Thanks.

Yeah I see that too. It's from a tree but not sure what is called. I had some awesome hunts under those trees

Gum Bumelia. Our neighbor had one up until a couple years ago and white wings would decimate them

That looks like what the doves we got had in them. We kept all the berries and tossed them in one of the fields on my property. Maybe they'll grow.

Oh those seeds will grow. They are invasive. Saplings have killer thorns.

Every single bird I shot last week was full of those.
