tenmm Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I vote that it is a fake. Something in that pic does NOT look right. I call this myth busted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTerrorist_75 Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have dealt with large cottonmouths before, but never that size. If that guy is around 5'6" that snake would appear to be about 8' long. If it is true I'm glad I didn't run into it while laying pipe through some of the swamps and canals down south. They can get real aggressive when you stir up their nesting areas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bozodog Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 I agree with the the idea that it's being held very close to the camera. Looks like the hunter has it on a stick not in his hand. (don't blame him) I don't think snakes like us any more than we like them. Every one I've ever seen was always quickly going away from me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bearskin Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 I don't know about tennessee but the cottonmouths here don't run from you. they are quite aggressive and will actually move toward you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Honda_Boy Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 well that shows the genius of my state. They think it is trick photography. Have they not heard of Photoshop. I think the pic is Shopped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
