@UFOsaucer1 Cottonmouths don't chase people, and can't rear up very far. Most likely you were between it and and where it wanted to be. There have been studies that show cottonmouths will bluff their way past a potential predator to get where they want to go. They don't actually want to chase you, snakes hate people more than vice versa.
