Many years agoI went to an afternoon stand in a swamp through knee deep ferns.After getting settled in my tree, I kept hearing rustling in the leaves where I had walked in. Finally catching movement, I discerned three separate pairs of the largest copperheads I had ever seen! Each pair was intertwined with half of their bodies raised up in the air facing each other swaying backand forth in the ferns. I had walked right through a breeding frenzy! Chill bumps ensued and I thought about having to walk out of there after dark. Needless to say, when that time came,I was light on my feet leaving there.Back at the clubhouse, one 87 year old hunter said that he had only seen that once in his life. I had witnessed a rarely seen event.
