Re: Anybody in Cheney WA? Bull snake question
All of the ones I have found around Cheney looked like average Great Basin gopher snakes.
But the one on Wikipedia does look like a bullsnake, a lot of them a little north and northwest of there do. They also tend to get large.

For the next one, Lake Owyhee in OR looks good, so does the Bruneau River Canyon in ID.
Over-all it looks like Owyhee has more roads for night hunting and more accessible terrain for day hunting, but it probably does not have long-nosed snakes. It has ground snakes, along with all the usual stuff.

Most of the historically really severe rattlesnake bite cases were from large adults. They do not have to be very large or old to have the capacity to kill though, depending on the species.
