Yes, I have seen deer eat them. In fact I have had wine made from them. Birds love them too.
Might be kinda like Morel mushrooms. They make some people sick too. Others they are a delicacy. I love em. |
RE: Question about pokeweed/berry
For almost every poisonous plant, it seems there is something that has adapted to being able to consume it. For humans, only the very young leaf shoots are edible. The young leaves can be eaten after cooking them using two changes of water and is still used to make Pole Salat in some places. I would not dare to try it unless I were starving.

RE: Question about pokeweed/berry
I've eaten the pokeweed shoots that come up in the spring. They are delicious. Get them before the red starts showing up, then it may be poisonous to humans. I've heard that it's not poisonous to deer. They definitaly eat it.

My wife got her first deer last year, a doe, and her stomach was full of 'em (the doe, not my wife).
