What’s the snake story!
I heard leaves rustling out of sight. I was sneaking in to get a closer look when I found a decent advantage point. Felt something squishy underfoot about the same time I felt something slam my boot. I looked down thinking it was a stick and low and behold I had successfully penned a cotton mouth under my boot. Surprisingly I penned him about 6” from his head (best I could tell) and he wasn’t happy about it. I did the ole jump and scream like a girl and he took advantage of my hang-time and got outta dodge. Literally, hole thing happened in a sec maybe 2. I was in a relative clean area too boot.
Got real lucky. Most are aggressive and don’t flee at first chance. This one did and I was extremely happy about it too. That’ll be number 5 I’ve walked up on. Had to kill 1 that charged but didn’t try to hunt this one down after our meeting.
