Saw this snake in a slash pile this weekend in stevens county. Anyone know what kind it is and if their common around here? I've never seen one like that before.

Did some research and I think it might be a Rubber Boa.

That's what it appears to be.

Outstanding work man!  All 3 birds are fantastic!  :tup:

Not too much to report these days in Merriams turkey camp. Last weekend was a hard hunt in Stevens county. We were on birds, but had bad weather to deal with and I can honestly say that our good ole merriams gave us fits to try to hunt. So this weekend we relocated closer to home in Central Wa.  :bdid: Didnt hear a bird gobble all weekend. Very frustrating.  :bash: However we got lucky this morning and my buddy manged to salvage a jake out of the hunt as he came sneaking in around 10:00 am this morning to investigate the decoy. Now, he lies just one eastern short of a mini slam of his own, and I'll be around next weekend to try to help him close the deal. We'll see how the late season easterns decide to treat us.  :peep:
