I am definitely glad that we don't have any cougar around here, and I don't think that any deer even get very close into town here. Mostly we just have things like squirrels, opossums, and raccoons. There are poisonous snakes here in Alabama, but we don't seem to get them here in town. Actually, I have never even seen any kind of a snake around here, venomous or otherwise.
When I lived in Missouri, we had a lot of water moccasins and copperheads out there, and they would come right up into the yard. I hated those snakes ! ! One time I got bit by a copperhead, and it was an awful experience. My leg was all swollen up, and i couldn't even walk on it for the next couple of weeks. After that, I was even more careful to watch for snakes.
