I hear ya. I don't have a fear of them. I respect them but don't fear them. I did catch and release a 3' copperhead once but won't push my luck again. Had that rattlesnake been in my yard things would be different. He was on a dirt road in the woods. No reason to kill him just for the sake of it. Too pretty and wasn't hurting anything.
