Their early warning (and basically timid nature) is why I tolerate rattlers. To me, copperheads just seem plain mean. When we walk around in the woods, I always precede my daughter because of the rattlers, and if we move anything laying on the ground, we always pick up the side away from us first, and hold something to kill a copperhead with if we find one. I always hear about local folks having rattlers and copperheads flung at them while brush-hogging, raking, or baling, but it hasn't happened to me. Yet. I'm very tolerant of snakes, wasps, and spiders, but I don't think my reaction to suddenly finding a poisonous snake on me would do me proud. :) I'm a bass, but if I suddenly found a copperhead in my lap, people in neighboring towns would be calling the police to report that they heard a woman screaming at the top of her lungs.
