round tail, poisonousus. pointy tail, non-poisonous. i guess bull snake.
ya know, all kidding aside, i've never REALLY thought about snakes when i've headed to the local ranges, even though we've encountered several deadly varieties on our property. in retrospect, it seems unwise to NOT bring a revolver and some snakeshot to the range, just in case.
ps, not knowing the OP's snake's disposition, my vote on appearance alone would be with the consensus of cottonmouth -- but was he an ornery aggressive jerk? cottonmouths tend to not leave well enough alone, and their aggressive nature can be a tip-off... if the snake was content to just let you photograph him and go about your business, that alone might be reason to think otherwise. on the other hand, if he was aggressive and chased you off, then i'd double my money on cottonmouth.

Definitely a cottonmouth/moccasin I've run across them in my area while fishing many times. The giveaway besides the colors is the arrow shaped head.
