Try a water moccasin going straight for your canoe.
Copper heads, so far I've always spotted the guys first, moved away, gone to either of my gun owning neighbors, and then we go back and blow its head off.
Closest encounter is when I was a kid, I threw my compass at it, then ran. Probably a good thing I missed...snake got its head blown off by my dad a few minutes later when I switched from saying there was a nake outside, to an army camouflage nake.
We've had two baby snakes with similar coloring at work, caught them, kept them for a while, they turned out to be corn snakes. We currently have a several foot long king snake that we feed and keep at work. We figure he's good security at night.
We had two, but the bigger one kept getting all the food, so eventually the 2 1/2" foot one left. I have no idea how big the large guy is.
