I find this interesting, as my colleagues and I have found as many as a dozen Bullsnakes in less than an hour there. It depends of the time of day and also the weather. I have been told that much of the tin piles have been cleaned up, and for sure more people are herping down there, but I don't see this as necessarily having an impact on the population. I have friends that have been there this year that have found Bulls without a problem. It's worthy to note that for years we never saw Eastern
Milk snakes there; now they (along with Bulls and Blue Racers)are a virtual certainty when herping there. I've even found them on the Indiana side, which is more difficult to herp. Keep at it, it will happen.
