Plenty of water where I hunt. We've got Canebrakes, cottonmouths and coppers. My season usually starts in Oct. Cool in the mornings but warm enough for them to be sunning later in the day. Don't go anywhere w/out snake boots. I asked a friend if they wanted to do some spring turkey and the reply was that he had gone 2 weeks prior and stopped on the trail only to notice he was surrounded by moccasins and thought he'd never get out unscathed. Needless to say, he wanted no more of it.
