I didn't see it; but I saw many in Oklahoma. I thought they were a beneficial snake?
I guess all snakes are "beneficial" in that they help keep the rodent population down.
But copperheads are poisonous so most people don't want them around their houses. They also are not as "polite" as rattlers who usually will at least let you know they're around...

We need a snake(other than Obama) to keep the illegal immigration population down.
Found it pretty quickly. SW Missouri has a lot of them. Contrary to what you may hear, you CAN smell them if you scare them.
Same here. We lived in the woods of SE Missouri (Southern part of Texas County) for a couple of years and saw Copperheads frequently.
They are 'protected' by law in Missouri (or were when we lived there), but a lot of them ended up as beautiful belts and wallets - probably due to all the lead poisoning in the area.
I guess all that time sitting in on my older brothers' Boy Scouts meetings really paid off.
