They can't bite you in the water, they get you on the bank.
I once set out a minnow trap, the basket type thing with concave ends?
A mama cotton mouth and many babies had swam into the trap to eat minnows and then couldn't figure out how to leave...so they drowned.
I was a surprised little girl when I pulled that thing up; as a matter of fact, I dropped it back in and went running for my big brother.
I didn't know that. Does that mean that water moccasin scene in Lonesome Dove is inaccurate?
