The only one I've ever seen flashed its white mouth at me from a face-level tree branch about 10 feet away while I was paddling front position of a canoe in a little stream in the Ozarks.  I paddled hard in reverse and yelled "reverse", my partner did not and just yelled "what?" - so I whacked it with my paddle and beat it to death on the water with repeated paddle smacks.  It was probably just being defensive, but I don't regret killing it.

I do like snakes, even the other venomous North American species - but even before that encounter I disliked cottonmouths, and that never changed.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Kill it and then dine on it.  :drool:

Maybe catch it and try to give it a kiss?

http://www.clickorlando.com/news/flo...snake/32503078
WIMAUMA, Fla. - A Hillsborough County man is recovering after being bitten in the face by a water moccasin.
Investigators say 18-year-old Austin Hatfield captured the 4-foot-long cottonmouth while swimming last week.
Friends say the teen was trying to kiss the snake when it struck, biting him on the lip.
Hatfield was taken to the hospital in critical condition but is expected to make a full recovery.
Cottonmouth snakes, sometimes called water moccasins, are extremely dangerous.

What a genius..natural selection almost got him.

"Leave them be, they eat mice"

Everything eats mice.  Plus I'd rather have 1,000 mice in my barn than one rattler or cottonmouth.
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

If I  see that I am unloading and going back to camp for more ammo. :yike:
