Truthfully it was sheer luck. I've been herping an area for 2 years around a resovoir on top of a hill and only ever saw the occasional water snake. I got optimistic one day and brought a pillowcase intent on finding an eastern milk and wouldn't you know it... 2 minutes on the trail and I find this guy! (Lucky pillowcase I reckon). I go there fairly frequently, if I find anymore I'd be happy to send them to you.
As for capture location: It was Bridgewater NJ, June 16th at 6:00pm.
Every Eastern that I know that has been found local to me have all been avid rodent feeders, which is a major bonus!
