The grown ups and parents would always tell us that they would leave our swimming area in creeks and rivers and lakes, and bayous if we beat the water with sticks and our hands, parents lied a lot back then.
When you are on the rope swing and you see them right underneath you after half an hour of dropping into the water, and playing around, you realize that nothing chases them away.
I wonder what our helmet wearing suburban helicopter parents tell their kids today, about running off the water moccasins and snapping turtles to swim in the bayous and rivers?

Summed up a lot what many parents are like today.
I was inside the house about to open the sliding back door when I saw it go by. I closed the door right away and the cotton mouth was trying to get me even though I was on the other side of the glass.
Those fangs and white mouth is something I did not want to mess with.
Seeing as we get a few snakes here from time to time then most are harmless , but I will shoot the next dangerous one I ever see.
Just not worth it to play around with snakes like that
