Thanks for all the great comments. I just started today with a few posts and love it. Now I'll have to start going through all my photos and do a lot of posting.

Many years ago, my sister-in-law's father almost had to have his arm amputated from a copperhead bite...He admitted he was trying to kill it!

Very sensible, though the venom won't kill you it will make you pretty sick for a day or two! What a beauty!

He was left right where he was found. I use a telephoto lens on these guys.
