I grew up in South Georgia near the Florida line, and water moccasins were quite common around fresh water ponds. When we were little boys we made great sport of shooting them with slingshots. Never saw an aggressive one; they would always attempt to escape.
Never knew anyone to have been bitten, but dogs would frequently get too close and often were bitten in the head. Sad story . . . . .
A family near our farm cooked "chicken fried" turtle one day and invited me over. Actually, it was quite good.
