My dog was once bitten by a Copperhead.

33. Glad your dog is fine

We have em up here as well the property across the way is old farm been abandoned for 25 years and infested with copperheads I keep lower gate closed so boog chocolate lab does not stray that way. We access it to fish the property is posted and several other farms post the stream but we asked years ago and we can trout fish. We keep one eye on ground and one eye where we're going and they don't bother us. Years back friend of my wife's her husband got a strike but like me he had chest waders so he was ok. And there is old flour mill on stream and this year our son and his friends we were fishing the holes and we saw big rattler sunning himself on dam by flour mill he must be eating mice doing ok for himself.
