Snakes and I have an arrangement
My arrangements with snakes:
If he is nonvenomous, we go our separate ways. I'll even move him out of the way.
If he is venomous and I've got an easy way to kill him that won't ruin a hunt . . . lights out for snakes. I've let several cottonmouths live that I would ordinarily kill because I didn't want to ruin a hunt.

I guess that means you skip the platypus when it's passed around the table

Did you look at the markings in the first picture? That is quite obviously a timber/canebreak.

It's venomous not poisonous, there's a difference
And what does GDCK stand for?
Google: In the scientific world, venom is injected, while poison is ingested. Therefore spiders and snakes are considered venomous rather than poisonous. ...

ETA you can ingest venom without being effected, it has to be injected to work. Poison, on the other hand, is toxic if ingested.
ETAA GDCK =god damn cobra kang

That freaks me out.

I want to see the dumbass redneck that would try.
BTW I don't kill any snakes unless I am in imminent danger of being bitten. My uncle(RIP)had 450 acres about 30 miles north of Picayune. He let his friends hunt for free as long as they did work to the property. There was a fine for shooting any buck under 8 points. You could NEVER step foot on the property again if you killed the 7ft+ eastern diamonback that lived about forty yards from one of the box stands. To this day it is the most impressive animal I have ever seen in the wild.

you think he would have felt guilty about not killing the snake if one of his friends got bit and died?

any snake is a dead snake in my eyes.

Close enough to the hospital in Bogalusa to where that wouldn't happen. This girl was truly impressive. I had the pleasure of seeing her twice. Head bigger than a full grown man's fist and probably weighed close to fifty pounds. She was probably close to 30 years old. The den was known by every person that hunted there.

pretty much the same here. The only snakes I kill are the venomous ones that I find around the house. If see them at the camp or in a national forest I'd rather just walk around and not waste a bullet.

Or live really far from a hospital. Those statistics are bullshite by the way, I mean really how many people get exposed to venemous snakes on any given day verses the number of people driving everyday. You would need to compare the ratio of incidents to deaths for each event for an accurate comparison.

The meanest sumbitch of a serpent you could ever come across. The only thing that truly kills them is cajun gypsy urine and thats hard to come by.
:MJC:
On a side note, I got bit by a timber rattler a couple of months ago and it put me down for a few days. Never saw it and it never rattled. Be careful fellow bowhunters.
ETA: to the charts and graphs above, I have been bitten by cottonmouths twice before and never felt as bad or felt more pain than the rattler.
