I wouldn't say I am a professional by any means, but I can say that I'm one of the very few in WV that even has a snake...period. I only know two other people in WV that deal with hots at all...only crotalus, sistrurus, and agkistrodon in my case. I'm in the northern part of the state if you want to contact me sometime. I can show you some spots in my neck of the woods where copperheads are prevalent, and I know a few neat timber dens in remote areas as well...great place to get some pics with no disturbances. Eric

Sounds like a snake hunting trip to WV is in order.

Absolutely Scott. Not sure if you have an ATV, but it makes it easier to get to site. I can take my truck up to where it's only like a 1/2 - 1 mile walk so that's a good option too. Give me a ring sometime when it gets nice and warm. Eric
