Found this growing in the woods about 20 yards off of my food plot. It's bright pink with pink vines running along the ground with little purplish berries on the end. What in the world is it?!

I am thinking of two things. ALWAYS get a picture of the leaves

There weren't many leaves on the tree itself, there were small ones on the vines though.

Berries look like this? Don't eat em

don't know about the vine thing? maybe its the roots? Sounds like a what we call Poke weed. Some blacks like to take the tender leaves and boil them to eat. My dad use to pick some for a black woman he knew and she would make "poke salad". Pretty sure you have to boil the leaves for them to be edible though.
ETA': when we wus keeds we use to take the berries and dye a white t-shirt with them. make designs and shite

It is on the tip of my tongue....... 
The vines have nothing to do with it. It is typically something that grows on the edge of old pasture
frick! It'll come to me

Now I am gonna have to go back to studying instead of thinking about plants. I have seen it around the edges of pastures and it grows up on the edges of powerlines/pipelines after they are cut
I'd rather eat poke chops

Yep, berries are a match, not near as leafy as that picture tho. Maybe the leaves already fell off. Berries look ripe.

pokeweed aka poke salat (not salad it is salat)
greens are good (parboiled, drained and fried in bacon grease) and berries can be made into wine or jelly - do not eat raw.
