We have a buttload of copperheads out here in the boonies of NE OK. I have ran over 2 slithering demons on our road already this year (not sure what type, I didn't stop to look), but haven't seen any in the yard yet....*knocking on simulated wood*.
I have seen a little worm snake, but nothing more yet.
Interestingly, cats are more resistant to snake venom than dogs.

Well duh, like snakes, cats are demon-spawn from hell.
One of my daughters was bit on the foot while wearing flip flops by a copperhead last year. She was a couple three weeks recovering, and I think all totaled, there was about 50 thousand dollars worth of hospital bills. Which her insurance thankfully paid.
I hope it's not a bad year too. I am a little worried though as we used to have a bunch of big black snakes but late last summers draught ran them off I think. As a result we have some mice and now I'm afraid lots of copperheads. I'm a believer in good snakes like black snakes to keep the mice and other snakes eaten out of the yard. Granted, a 6-7 foot long black snake can scare the crap out of you sometimes.
I hate copperheads. My grandma told me when she was little they had a golden retriever named butterball and he hated copperheads. He would shake them until their head tore off.
