J.... Yup that's a Jersey snake... We have a few areas that are infested with them... Area Dan and Jon have hunted have quite a few... Funny as old as I am and all the time I spend in the woods I have yet to see a rattlesnake or copperhead...
I kinda like it that way... When going through rocky areas I look before I place a hand or foot anywhere... That snake is maybe 5 miles from where Dan shot his bear as the crow flys...

That’s a HUGE Timber Rich! Beautiful snake and photo, IMO.
It could also be a Canebrake its distant cousin. Not sure they range that far north like the Timbers.
