Areas all over the Carolina's are full of copperheads. They are often found under boards and sheets of tin, and around barns and outbuildings on farms. Some farmer's welcome snake hunters on their property to catch copperheads, they see as a danger to family members, as well as, farm animals, but others will warn you off with a shotgun. Of the many good hunters, there are always a few that look under the boards and tin, throwing the piles around the fields and by driving through those fields and tearing up crop lands. These type of snakehunters ruin the sport for those who are respectful of other people's property. A permit to hunt does not give anyone the right to trash someone elses personal property. But with repectfullness snakehunter's can remove these poisenous reptiles and build good friendships with landowners who will welcome them back year after year.
