Copperheads are hard to see. Luckily, a bite while unpleasant is unlikely to be fatal.

4?!
Looks like a pile of leaves to this Northerner.
I'd need a Zoom-in to see any.

I'm with Tom, I would have walked right over them. Not used to looking for critters like that up here.
I do like the look of Copperhead skins on a bow though...

Well, I see three for sure, and there may be a forth there. Man, was it a den, or a breeding group.
Sneaky little buggers. I've had more close calls with copperheads than any other, just so darn hard to see.
Wade, you checking hog stands out there, or are you still after deer?

I see 3 for sure. When did you take this picture? With all the cold weather we've had in Texas I'd have to think it was taken in October or November.
Sorry but I'm just not a snake person. Copperheads and rattle snakes give me the willy's.

We had a week in December that they come out here in N. Bama. Beautiful animal. Cotton mouths on the other hand I can do without.

I saw just two. In college, we went spelunking in Nov. and found ourselves in a copperhead den. We backed out and came back with the herpetology geeks. They pulled 27 adult copperheads out of that cave. It was the "wind cave" in Lancaster PA about 1989. Since then, I've seen exactly 1 copperhead in the field. About 5 years ago at Lock 12 on the Susquehanna.
I would love a jacket and pants in a copperhead pattern!!

Well at first I only saw two. But, after looking closer(and reading where people were seeing 4) I definitely see 3 and maybe a 4th one.
Way too early in the year to see any snakes in KY.
