I've shot a few WM over the years on the farm north of Dallas around the ponds but haven't seen any here close up enough to say for sure if that's what they were. Whenever you read about them, they are always characterized as curious and rather aggressive, sometimes approaching boats, etc., but that's not what I'm hearing here. Does the common water snake have the big head like the WM?
I'm in the "snakes are beneficial" camp for the most part, but I've seen a couple of copperheads here and nearly stepped on one that sent me reeling. Will kill any of those bad boys I can get a chance at.
