snake bites!!!!

I was standing once and there was a strange feeling on my foot. I looked down and I was standing on a copperhead and he was striking my boot. But he could not get through it. I just killed him with a pocket knife. A copperhead can bite through tennis shoes but not a good pair of boots. The problem is they sit real still and you do not see them. They will bite your hand. When crawling I grab a one or two foot stick and just push the leaves as I crawl. When you push one some will move but most I have seen just look like a strange stick at first glance. Most of the time I forget and do not even worry about snakes. If bit look to see what kind of snake bit you. I had a friend go to e-room and when they asked him what snake bit him he said this one and pulled a dead snake out of a bag. I just try to know where the nearest emergency room. But that is for when I get broken bones.
