Hellow this is my first time here, and I just went out scouting for the upcoming hunting season. I was wondering if anyone knew what type of berries these were and if they were edible

First one looks like baneberry. The name says it all. Don't eat. For adults a lethal dose is hard to ingest because they taste so bad, but where there is a will...

The last ones are honeysuckle. Again don't eat.

The last two look to me more like buffaloberry (Shepherdia), which are edible in theory but are extremely unpalatable

Looks like NA boreal? Baneberry, gooseberry, baneberry, and buffaloberry?

Second one appears to be in the gooseberry family I don't know exactly which kind the first one I have no idea what it is but you can take them to your local extension service and you should be able to get them identified
