Tenn River backwaters (nothing to do with Lugers at all)

Sure are, thay can be from a light brown to almost black, this one is an odd type in that his head isn't as wide as the classic cottonmouths, is also more slender, more moccasin, he was about 3', I've never been bit but have stepped on several, worst time is getting out of a boat onto the bank. They are going to come straight into the water. I also stay well away from overhanging trees and undercut banks. Surprisingly, for as much time as I'm out I see relatively few. My rule is if it looks snaky then it most likely is and I keep well away. Best weapon is a paddle. I just flip them back.
