Kankakee Bulls I Found Today

tspuckler May 13, 2012 11:26 PM

Last year I drove 6 hours to the sandhill prairies of Illinois to look for my first wild Bull Snakes on Memorial Day Weekend. I didn't find any. So this weekend I got "back in the ring to take another swing" and I went a few weeks earlier than in 2011. That turned out to be a pretty good idea.

My first wild Bull:

Same snake:

The next one I found was in shed and the pics didn't come out so well. But this last one was pretty awesome.

It was very cool to finally see these snakes in the field.

Tim, those are awesome man. I like the colors on the first ones snout and how black the second one is for the first third of it's body. Incredible..

Congrats! Something about the Kankakee look ...so bad arse! That last one with such a black and what face is a trip!

How did you happen to find three in one day? Were you cruising dirt of flipping or just plain(s) lucky?
