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

Grew up in the swampy land of South Georgia where water moccasins are common. When we were kids we used to hunt them with slingshots, running through the woods barefoot ! I have seen an 8 foot bush beside a local pond with six (6) moccasins in it, sunning themselves. True story; not a stretch.

Usually they had very thick bodies. I have heard that they are aggressive, but I never saw one attack.

Never knew anyone who was bitten, but lots of interesting close calls.
