Is this a bull snake?

[Brett C]

The guy i was hunting with screamed like a girl so i go running over there & find him wacking this guy with a stick. I told him non poisonous but he is scared of all of them. He said it puffed his head up & was strikeing before he wacked it.

Yes its dead I got there to late & told him it was a good snake & not to kill them, but he was agresive.

[Drenalin_Ag99]

Yeah these snakes make the mistake of looking too much like rattlers, and when they stand up and hiss at you, they are very aggressive, I killed one last trip, If it would have left I wouldnt have, you bow up to me-big mistake-boom benelli takedown (during dove season).

Bull snakes eat rattlers.
From Wiki:
Though some bull snakes can be docile, and with some time become accustomed to handling, most bull snakes are quite defensive and known for their perceived "bad attitude".

When threatened by anything as large as a human, a bull snake's primary defense is to flee, if possible.

Bullsnakes are often confused for rattlesnakes and killed by laypersons. Due to its coloration, dorsal pattern, and semi-keeled scalation; the Bullsnake superficially resembles the Western Diamondback Rattler (Crotalus atrox), which is also common within the same range. The bull snake capitalizes on this similarity by performing a very impressive rattlesnake impression when threatened. First, it hisses, or forcibly exhales through a bisected glottis, which flaps back and forth producing a very convincing "rattle" sound. It will also take on a rattlesnake-like "S-curve" body posture, as if it is going to strike. The bull snake will commonly vibrate its tail rapidly amongst the brush or leaves, and flatten its head to make it take on a more characteristic triangular-shaped head of the rattlesnake. These defensive behaviors are meant to scare away threats, not sound an attack.

In contrast to rattlesnakes, which usually keep their tail elevated in order to sound the most efficient rattle, bull snakes tend to keep their tail in contact with the ground, in order to beat it against something to make a sound.

Their rattlesnake mimic is so impressive that it is frequently the bull snake's very undoing when discovered by humans.
