I've probably seen more of those than any other venomous snake in my life. Unearthed a literal nest of 'em one time as a kid kicking rocks off the railroad trestle at the creek I fished in. About scared me to death!
Saw two in a nearby creek one day a few weeks ago. They seem to be pretty common in this part of the world in my opinion.
Since July 28 I've been back and forth to the vet literally almost every other day with one of our labs that was snake bit in our back yard. At least that's what the vet thinks it was. Fairly bizarre experience overall. Gonna operate on the dogs leg next week to deal with scar/dead tissue in hopes of trading another 3-4 months of healing for 2-3 weeks. Can't say for a fact that it was a copperhead but I know I've seen 'em around the area and never any other kind of venomous snake.
It's amazing how well the snake disappears in that grass.
