Killed a Cottonmouth also called a Water Moccasin

Heck, up here in NorCal we got sissy stuff like possums, squirrels, raccoons, deer and occasional rattlesnakes. Nothing like what you'll got in Florida, for sure.

No poisonous snakes at all here on LI. But we have all that other stuff....... Lol

My Uncle had one fall out of a tree and into his boat while fishing in a South GA river. He shot 4 holes in his boat a killed the water moccasin. It still is a terrifying thought.

At least your wife is smart and does not pick the dead snake. Recently in Corpus Christi,TX a man did just that and the story is shocking. Read more on this link: http://https://www.kiiitv.com/articl.../503-561750856. And just as wild is the green snake that crawled out of cars air vent this past week on the news.

Yep good job. We have them here in NE SC. Was hunting with friend a few years back and he knocked down a duck that feel into the reeds. He went to retrieve it and reached for what he thought was the bird was in fact a cottonmouth. All I heard was "CRAP" and a bang. He never found that duck.

I guarantee Cottonmouths are aggressive I had one chase me out of the creek.

My cousin and I were swimming he was on high dirt bank and I was in the creek he hollered Cottonmouth. I looked up stream saw the snake knowing I`ll never make it up slippery high clay bank I started swimming towards gravel bank and as I was swimming I heard loud splashes my cousin was chunking big rocks at the snake as it was chasing me.

Once I could touch bottom I begin running in the water and up on to the gravel bank. I turned to see where the snake was and it just coming out of the water right behind me. I ran further and grabbed hand full of smaller rocks and pelted snake only then did it turn and go back into the water.

My cousin said he never hit the snake with big rocks but he did make a few big splashes that slowed snake down or it would have got to me in the water.


As for Copperheads I had one bite my big toe and this was adventure as well. Long story short 8 hours later in a bed in emergency room I had been lucky it was a dry bite.


No symptoms other than 2 punctures and very swollen black, blue, and red right big toe.

MAN that thing is huge. Nature why you gotta be so scary

The worst thing around where I am is brown recluse spiders, and they don’t often make appearances. TON of wolf spiders around though, big suckers too. Black widows are also around some parts of MD.

I really hate spiders... like isn’t two legs enough? You know? Four tops, then I’m outta there
