Roger that!!!!!!!!!! A cotton mouth will come at/after you where a copper head or rattler will head the other way if allowed. I grew up in So. Texas and know all bout the bad snakes.
My wifes aunt was just bitten by a copperhead picking 'maters in So. KY/TN border area end of last week. Thay are lousy round their place. This is the 4th time she has been bit in 45yrs. She didn't even go to the Dr.'s. She tends it herself with home remedies and go on bout her way. Tough ole gal!!!!!
