That particular type of Copperhead has got to be the all time nicest bow skin.  Love the carmel colors.  Nice bow too Kerry  ;)

Kenny, a few years ago I was run out on my evening stand(2 nights in a row) by a brown thrasher dive bombing me. This happened after sunset each evening, just as the woods were getting deery.
 It wasn't until after the second time as I walked frustrated back to camp that I realized  it wasn't me he was after but the copperhead skinned bow on my lap. Being a ground bird I bet the copperhead is the dreaded enemy of the brown thrasher.

Hope I can get mine to turn out half that nice. I like those copperhead too. I have been hoping to find one that was matched close but all mine are a bit different. I need to break em out and back my next bow with skins. I have copperhead and milk snake both.   Danny

It is a wonder that there is a copper head left with the way this bow turned out.
Sidewinder you get them locally, when state side I leave near Manhattan, I have yet to see one but I know they are there.

Great job on the skins Kerry!!!!!  
I've spent a lot of time in the woods over the past 50 years, don't know that I've ever seen a copperhead, a few rattlers though.
