Dang Jamie, didn't know you had copperheads over there. I live in northern Indiana near the Michigan boarder. The only rattler we have up here is the Massasauga Rattler. It is reclusive, darn near impossible to find, harder yet to get bitten by, and don't even think they get large enough to back anything other than a kids bow with. In 30 years of trompin wood around here I've never seen one in the wild. Don't mind keepin' it that way either. I can deal with all the other ones. :D
