I hate copperheads. My brother was bit by one once, or at least I'm pretty sure. He was helping someone move some pipe in a pasture and came home complaining about his leg. You could see the bite marks and his leg swelled up black and blue. Luckily he's a pretty big guy and he came out fine because he didn't go for medical attention.
A couple of years ago my mom had a copperhead come after her in her yard. She had a German Shepard pup about 3 months old jump in between them and take the bite. The snake got killed, but unfortunately the pup died as well.
I don't like rattlesnakes either, but they at least tend to try to mind their own business unless you step on them. A copperhead is just plain evil and aggressive and will come after you. I tend to leave most snakes alone, but if I see a copperhead and can safely kill it I'm going to.
