I had a cotton mouth up in the dozer with me when it got stuck a couple of weeks ago. Got off, he stayed, got a shovel and he is in pieces.
A friend reminded me that the air temp is so hot that pit vipers, being heat signature seekers, have trouble “seeing” us this time of year.
Protected species my butt.
Makes sense what your friend says.
The only good cottonmouth(if he’s close)is a dead one.
