The population in Suches, Georgia is in great shape for copperheads and rattlesnakes. People here fuss at me for not running over them when i see them. Glad i "aint skeered". They are beautiful.

By the way a pair of 150 dollar snake boots can save you 89, 850 dollars because some people's hospital bill ends up around 90, 000 if they have to do 5 or six series of anti venom.

I have seen a lot of cottonmouths up close. They don't chase you and aren't aggressive. They are very curious and will put on a display. About the only way they will bite is if you step on them.

I have seen a bunch of them as well...............I did have one who chased me to the golf cart.......or course this was after I tried to knock him in the head with a stick.......
Most aggressive snake I have seen is the eastern king snake........and I have been around a bunch of snakes.......and I mean a bunch.

I've seen and let crawl 10 venomous snakes this week......remember my last post?
Please send me $5 a week and I will start to kill them........unless of course Trumpy will send me a check? Maybe I can write it off on taxes? Are you an accountant? I'm sure you spend most your time in an office.....

that video shows what I always feared while sitting,backed into a palmetto head waiting for a turkey...especially when the head has a few gopher turtle holes in back of you..
Exactly what I was thinking !!!

It just depends where I am and the situation. If hunting on property I rarely go to I don't kill them at all, but on lease land and private land that I own they are killed on sight. Especially if a piece of property is going to be turkey hunted and stomped in an hour before daylight. I know a piece in my county surrounded by marsh (basically an island) and if you let all the copperheads and Diamondbacks live in there you'd be moving/avoiding snakes everyday you hunted, it's only about 120 acres and its infested. And for the record, I never wear snake boots and haven't killed one in years despite plenty of opportunities, I have an IQ twice that of DRBugman, carry a .45 in a tanker shoulder holster, and could have whooped Gut Pile's butt when I was 12

When hunting I don't bother them if at all possible....now if it's around my house that's a different story...I kill any poisonous ones every time.
