I am not an expert but looks like a currant . Are these berries on a bush or tree? Currants are edible but I can't be sure from your picture. Bob

they came off a bush. there are alot of them in the woods near my house. and these woods have never been touched by people. i know the owner and hes always says that now one has ever been in those woods and this guy is almost 100 its been in his family for forever. he lets me go in there tho to look for wood and stuff.

If they are ripe and you do not see birds eating them. I would take that as a bad sign.
Bowmakers are a little bent, but knappers are just plain flaky.

Choke cherry? It's been a long time since I saw one.
Lakeland, Florida
 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

i dont think its a chokecherry. the berries almost remind me of a pumpkin. they have stripes going down them.

The leaves are all wrong for currant or gooseberry.

Got any pics of the bark on the main trunk?  It isn't choke cherry if it has multiple seeds.  Honeysuckle isn't putting out fruit yet.  BTW just smelling sweet don't mean there safe to eat.  I'm sure you know that already.  Just saying.  I've seen something similar to that in central VA.  Never did id it though.  Be sure to post it, if you figure it out.  Josh

Watch the birds. If they don't eat them, like I said, bad sign.
