yes the hognose and the spredding adder is the same snake, if u pick him up or mess with them they will play possum and then throw -up the last thing they ate up ( regurgitate ) you walk away a few feet & watch he will come back to life.

Yo Deadeye.....the copperhead is called a "Pilot Snake" by many in these parts. I don't read much about copperheads on this site.....are they common in M'issippi? Hope not cause it seems that you all already have plenty of snakes to watch out for as it is. A few years ago a friend of mine said he was almost bitten by a rattlesnake while duckhunting in the east delta in Jan.. Watch where you step! the INJ

Yup. We got copperheads. Lots of 'em! Saw one crossing the road the other day. He was on the other side though! They're pretty common, but most folks don't worry about them as much as cottonmouths. I still look out for them though. They blend in with those leaves mighty well!

Yup. Shot one while duck hunting about 2 years ago. We were hunting in a LOT of rain (about 4 1/2 inches) that day (about 55-60 degrees) and the water was rising in the bottom where we were. The spot I was wading through on the way back to my boat was about knee deep that morning and by the afternoon was up around chest deep. Anyway, there was a little high spot back by the boat and a drift had formed between some trees from the rising water. I was pushing through that chest high drift on the way back to the boat and one of those sticks took off swimming! :shock: Scared the he!! out of me! :shock: Instinct took over and I pointed the 12 ga. at him and splashed water all over myself. I don't know what happened to him. I figure I made hamburger of him. Those 3 1/2 inch #2's probably did him in pretty good at point blank range.

It gave everyone else a good laugh. Somehow, I didn't think it was funny. :roll:
