In the majority, snakes are not poisonous and if you are bitten by one, the largest threat to you is actually infection of the wound and exposure to bacteria that that is prominent in just about every snake's mouth.
If you are bitten by a non poisonous snake, even if the bite seems small, if blood is drawn, treat it as a serious wound because it can develop into something very serious without even having venom be present.
Although this article covers poisonous snakes in Kansas but the description of the various, major venomous snakes is a reliable guide for most of the south and Midwest.
You should, however, check with your state's Fish and Wildlife organization to see what, if any poisonous snakes exist in your state or region.
On the next page, we cover the most common venomous snakes for the region cited above.

First thing I want to point out if you kill a snake in a national park you will go to jail for it ( thanks to Bill Clinton for taking farms and making it part of the buffalo national park where cotton mouth snakes are apparently a protected species and lord help you if you shoot one in the park and picking up dead wood for a camp fire is frowned on still think the stand off in Oregon is no big deal?
When I doubt , shoot

2 of em are rattlers, 1 looks like a copperhead, and the top looks like a Boa Constrictor. (Snake F.Y.I.) If it has diamond shaped eyes, it’s poisonous. but if you can not tell from a distance, i do not recommend getting closer to find out. =p
Exactly the reply my dad would give..me also …
I’d much rather shoot them
It’s called survival of the fittest, doesn’t get more natural than that bark eater.
