Copperheads are molting and mean as heck right now. The wife got chased and struck at yesterday even before killing a 3.5’ one with a shovel in the yard. She’s part native Indian and just goes after them when she sees one.
Then she tells her nephew last nite and one of his mowing crew encountered one mowing a grave yard near Bedford this morning acting mean and molting about 2.5 ft long before he wacked it. Be careful if your hunting and near weeds as they are mousers and thrive moreso in the weeds and weed lines.
