I know their territory. I was also raised in Arlington and fished it since the mid 70's and have never saw one. Alot of water snakes, no cottonmouths.

How do duck hunters get away with having guns on Corps lakes? I've always wondered about that.

I have a youth model single shot twenty gauge and I have had cottonmouth snakes follow my boat and try to get in it. It has never been my desire to go shoot hundreds of snakes but if they are trying to enter my boat I blast them. As far as being safe my shotgun must have the hammer pulled back to shoot so I feel very safe with it in my boat.
This is why shotguns in police cars are ALWAYS kept with loaded magazines but empty firing chambers. For the same reasons, a shotgun stored loaded in the home for family defense should be a magazine-type weapon kept with its firing chamber empty. It is customary to hunt with rounds in the guns chambers, and this is why the Ten Commandments of Firearms Safety for hunters includes admonitions to unload the gun and set it down before crossing fences, and to always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
You guys scare me. I have seen quite a few old pump guns fire the the slide is slammed chambering a round.

Dubee ---- If you were fishing in the 70s then you know better........... 1.)you were not "raised" in Arlington,,,you were reared. You raise corn and wheat, you rear a child/person. 2.) have never "SAW" one ..... nope,,,,, you might have never "seen" one.

Shotguns are not illegal on corps lakes. duck hunting is allowed on Pines with no special permit.
Wherever you go, there you are

Had a kitten swim off the bank and crawl in the back of my boat at Ray Hubbard.
No joke I really did.
