I've always heard that if you see the wildlife eating it then you're able to as well. I always figured skipping the salad and go for the wildlife first anyways.
Very true to an extent depends what animal one is following and what part of the vegetation the animal is eating, some will eat the tip of a leaf leaving the remaining leaf giving the impression the whole leaf is safe I've seen deer eat the leaves from a tree that's toxic such as a snowball tree, the deer eats the leafs but the tree is toxic to dogs and humans. I have seen 'survival experts' give wrong information to students that could potentially harm or save lives a good example, the hemlock tree being deadly to humans here I also have read the same thing in books NOT TRUE it's the hemlock 'bush' that is poisonous NOT the tree, the tree has many life saving properties like most evergreens, that is why books are for reference only not a source of facts.
