Originally posted by rocky View PostYes, it really is that big of a deal. I have a bunch of cottonmouths at my house, and few copperheads. Copperheads get a pass because their bite might make you swell and get a little sick if you’re healthy. A cottonmouth bite will rot your hand off. Cottonmouths don’t get a pass. BTW, that is a juvenile cottonmouth.

Has anyone else every been targeted by water moccasins while fishing? It seems they have it out for me during certain times of the year...super aggressive.
I took a knee with my son (4 at the time) about 4 feet from a coiled up cottonmouth. I touched it on the nose with a stick to get him to open his mouth so my boy could see why it's called a cotton mouth. We talked about it and why it could hurt him, poked it several time to get that mouth open again and again...then it finally slithered off into the creek.

And he will recognize the snake as being the one he saw with you as a kid.
And the snake will recognize the man as the boy who, with his father..let him live all those years ago...letting him father babies of his own..and live to an old age in those woods.
And that snake will bite your son in the face because.... snake.Last edited by systemnt; 09-23-2019, 05:26 PM.
