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.
