Call of the Wildman

Call of the Wildman (2011-2014)

EndedReality showNature

If someone has a critter problem in Kentucky, they know Ernie Brown Jr. is the man to call. Nicknamed "Turtleman'' for his uncanny ability to catch monster snapping turtles, Brown also handles raccoons, skunks, snakes, venomous spiders, possums and many other wild animal species, and by "handles'', we mean literally. He uses his bare hands to catch his prey, a self-taught style he has honed over years of bonding with animals in the deep wilderness where he lives.
