It is about 2 feet long.
It has a serious attitude.
It crawled straight at me and struck 4-5 times while I took photos.
Is this a bull snake?

Sure looks like a bull snake. Very similar to this description and photo...

The link Tedshuck provided shows similar species. The band across the eyes seems to be more indicative of a great plains rat snake or a glossy snake.

5-6 foot bull snake from the same area 3 years ago.

I always thought the bull snake was darker, and less strikingly marked. I would suggest the great plains rat snake. A prettier snake but with it does come an attitude.

Born to Fish...Forced to Work !
when i was in the service in Yakima I played with lots of rattlesnake from a distance. I sold them to guy who resold them.
They had to be 2 feet long and I got 5 bucks each for them.
20 bucks for anything over 4 feet long.
My best day was 33 rattlers in one day.

Well, thank you! It comes from living in Nebraska and Kansas!
That which you know more about is less likely to terrify you when encountered!!!
