If you think that's scary AB, imagine swimming in a lake, turning around, and seeing a 6 foot water mocasin 5 feet in front of you swimming straight at you. Link
AB, way way back (30 years ago) we used to walk in those bayous on that same golf course hunting for golf balls. Saw many Water Mocasins and Copperheads. Once we killed an 8 foot Mocasin right around the corner from where you live. We dragged it up to the street and all the neighbors came out to see it and were amazed. I saw bigger snakes than that one in those creeks. Be careful.
My uncle tells a story about when him, my dad, and their uncle were out fishing on some lake around San Antonio when my dad was about 5 years old. My dad hooked a "fish", hauled it into the boat, and goes "Uncle Carl, what kind of fish is this?" Uncle Carl and my dad's brother both jumped out of the boat when they realized that my dad had hauled in a water moccasin.
If that was the case, how'd you kill it? In that link that I posted above, I have no idea what I would have done if that snake had decided to charge me in the water.
Well,when you are walking in a creek that you know there are snakes in, it's a good idea to have a golf club (or stick) in hand. When I saw it coming at me I clubbed it to death with a 7 iron One other time a copperhead was about to strike me, I didn't even see it. My freind took it out with a 5 iron.
LOL. Keeps snakes and trains from coming around. I found a snake lying under my water hose outside one time. I killed it with a broom and threw it over my backfence, which faces a ditch. I told my wife who is deathly phobic about snakes and she freaked and didn't go into our yard for over a month.
