I have one about 2 1/2 ' long that guards my garden. he lives under a steel plate and a concrete slab. I've seen him with a couple of mice and a rat so far this year. I have a cat that used to stalk him but i think they had it out one day because the cat steers clear as much as posable so far this year. He's been out there for 3 years ,the grandkids think its a rattler----I just havn't told them it isn't.

Probably hunting birds.

I had a strange encounter on the Deschutes while fishing. Every day when I'd go by one certain spot, a Bull Snake would be lying on the bottom of the river in a few inches of water close to shore. Don't know if it was hunting stoneflies or fish or just cooling off. It was there several days in a row.

Thank goodness we dont have many of those things in trees around here. It would be creepy to hunt elk in brush and have a 6' snake fall on your head!

That's awesome! Wish I had a few of them around my yard to knock down the mice.
