[QUOTE="Dr. Richard Gray, post: 3015845, member: 111239"] Have you ever been actually attacked by a copperhead? Squirrel hunting on the farm with a .22 LR Scope and all. Had 3-4 squirrels up above me in the tree tops. Shot one and watched where he fell, then sit back and waited, oping to get a shot at another, but that never developed. So I stand up, walked over and fetched the squirrel I had shot. The ground cover was very light honey suckle and dried brown leaves. I had the squirrel by the tail as I started back with it. Heard a loud rustling in the leaves and turned to see a very angry and offensive copperhead ready to strike. Then it lunged forward at me, in my opinion a second time, and kept advancing, aggressively. I never even tried to see it in my scope at only a few feet away and just shot from the hip, emptying my rifle as I was trying to get away. By the time I got a couple of hundred yards away it dawned on me that the initial rustling in the leaves was his first strike. I could only assume that he hit that squirrel instead of me. [/QUOTE]
