That's a good one for sure. I killed about a 3 footer on Big Creek today with my SR22. One to the body as he was trying to leave and a follow up to the noggin.
Looks like the hogs are still in action. Hopefully I'll run into a pack in the next few weeks.
I saw a grass snake yesterday. I was glad I didn't kill it with the weed whacker. They eats skeeters ya know. Never saw a water moccoaain. My wife ran them over a few times when she lived in Oriental ,N.C.

Moccasins are born mad at the world and only get grumpier as they age. I think they would probably crawl five miles out of their way if they thought they'd get to bite something.
Thankfully, we don't have them locally but I have bumped into some fishing in Eastern NC and for them I do not care a damn.

I have seen them come all the way across a fish or minnow pond to try and get to me. They stink to high heaven and I have often smelled them before I saw them.
umpteen years ago several of us were sitting around drinking heavily and a guy brought one in that he had just killed ,we skinned it, cut it up into about 3 inch long pieces and boiled it about 5 minutes then floured it and fried it in a skillet and it was damned good ! I remember saying that someone had finally found a use for the stinking sobs !
Im a snake guy...I will even give rattlers a pass.
But A water moccasin.....nope.
They have a totally different attitude about life, theirs AND yours.
So I give them at attitude adjustment. Still have the skin of a big one hanging upstairs that tried his best-and all too nearly succeeded- in getting me to room temperature.

I drove a Kubota into an embankment the other day, because I was trying to ram a snake.
Upon closer look, as it was shucking and jiving trying to dodge the bucket I was trying to smash it with, I realized it was a corn snake, and not the copperhead I made him to be...
We trounced all over our lease in rattlesnake country this past weekend with nary a sighting - very thankful for that as we had 3 kids with us. The only snake spotted was something unidentified but presumed harmless swimming across a stock pond. Scorpions were thick though!
