SW Mississippi population of corn snakes

Anyone have any idea how common they may be in Pearl River County Mississippi? Ive never seen one there, but have seen black racers, speckled kings, gray rat snakes, cotton mouths, copperheads, and green tree snakes. A friend about ten miles away has even seen corals and eastern diamondbacks. However no corns....
 
The hog population has boomed and this spring i trapped about 22 without much effort, so i suspect that the snake population in general is under some pressure. In fact i have not seen many snakes in the past couple of years. I have 130 acres of mixed age loblolly and longleaf pines, as well as about 50 acres of pasture, all surrounded by heavily wooded neighbors. So the territory seems conducive to healthy populations of snakes. I guess there could be countless reasons for the apparent decline. I just wish i could see a few more colorful snakes like corns or kings, etc
 
I have a friend that I stay in contact with who lives in Jackson and bikes the trace and other trails in that area. He has 2 corn sightings so far this May (one dead one alive) and is getting excited that the local population might be coming back. Cottonmouths, Copperheads, Gray rats and speckled kings are common in his neck of the woods.
