Looks like a hog snake. He won't hurt you.
yes it is a hog nose snake , namly from its venom once bitten the nose begins to swell untill it looks like you have a hogs nose , and it itsches profusly and the only way to get rid of the itch is to rub your nose in the dirt hence hog nosesnake early setlers were often bitten and were put into hog pens untill the venom wore off . Ha ha just one of my stories.
About all we see around the eastern part of ND is the gartner snakes which are harmless, but they can scare the heck out of you when you are down on the ground digging a hole. At one site the ground was just moving with them as they were all over the place, so I figured they were there first as they had holes all over so i left them alone. The only other thing that scare me in one of my hunts was a skunk came out of the weeds to see what I was doing, what I was doing is leaving fast as I felt this was his spot for now.

I remember the first hog nose I saw. We were kids and one came out of the leaf pile we were playing in. We thought it was a cobra with its flat head.
I have never had any really close snake encounters detecting, but I did come too close to a big black bear. I was taking a short cut through a ravine to get to an old field. Heard a whimpering sound and when I realized what it was I was way too close to a black bear. I left the scene in a hurry.

Along the Gulf Coast of Texas we have about every snake you can name, poisonous and not. In the sand dunes of the coast you will often find Diamondback rattlesnakes.
Tourists sometimes wander into the dunes sight seeing and sometimes to relieve themselves, not knowing what might be waiting for them. I have warned a few over the years to stay out of the dunes, due to the snakes and the damage they might do to the dunes. It is especially scary when they take their small children with them. Usually when you say Rattlesnake they make a U-Turn.

I once made a trip to the golf shores alibama, with granny, and it was cold but the locals warned me of rattle snakes 8 ft long , now that gives them a very long stricking distance , and they warned of cotton mouths, but it was cold and i never got into a battle with any snakes but i did see armidilloes dead on the roads and not afew dogs and cats that had close incounters with vehickles
