    Will a copper head try and get in you boat?
    I went down to the Oklahoma river to do a little rowing exercise. While there I saw a small
    Snake in the water. He didn't appear to be aggressive. When I returned to work, my boss told me
    He had heard stories a about the copper heads being aggressive to the point of getting, or trying to get into the boat with people. Is it any truth to it?

    You want a legal answer to this question?

    If the Copperhead tries to climb in your boat, you are entitled to shoot it in self-defense, but only if you have an objective belief that your life is in danger.

    The above post was meant in jest, in the hopes that a moderator would eventually remove this thread from the "legal" forum.

    But, more seriously, how can a Copperhead climb into a boat even if it wants to? I don't think it would be able to climb up the side of a boat. Perhaps from a low-hanging branch or steep bank, I suppose.
