Next time you get a cottonmouth in the open, with snakeboots, see how hard it is to get one to actually stike using a stick. They will set there and hiss and open their mouth, but it normally takes a lot to get them to stike. I never have had one strike that I did't actually touch/poke with a stick.
THem dang (harmless) watersnakes will try and get in the kayak with me and then want me to get out. I shoot all snakes at the pond at the house, but away from there I only kill copperheads.
