He just said that you shouldn't catch raccoons with a live cage trap. It's inhumane because they will break their teeth off. Instead you should poke them with a sharpened stick, grab them by their tail, stuff them in a bag and twirl it around and around!

I've actually had a few calls in the past week asking why I don't do it this way. They want me to go up in the attic and catch them by hand.

There are all kinds of folks willing to do anything for recognition and fame.Personally if any of my employees attempted such methods they would be warned, then if they didnt comply and begin to fly straight they would be looking for other employment. Some of these show and tell type shows are for entertainment and ratings while others are more practical and realistic removal methods.

Ernies tactics will eventually, if not already cause him some potential health risks. He has been bitten several times already in a few of the programs I have watched and we all know how risky that is, so why take the chance just for the amusement of others.
The sad part is the viewing public is influenced into thinking that is the accepted method of handling such scenarios and actually expect you to do the same as the turtle man.

Combine a few episodes of Turtle Man, beer, the general public, and soon there will be problems.

This kind of display of a side of our industry is not favorable for any of us. The public is getting representation of wildlife remvoval that is not typical or an accepted method or methods of problem animal removal or techniques.

After watching a couple of Turtleman shows I quit watching. Now I'm beginning to wonder if the whole show isn't "scripted" ucing Farm raised animals placed in situations where he can come in and catch them, all while being filmed and shown as "reality". That would explain him not being hospitialized after so many bites.

I thought for sure that the "turtle man" was here on T-man but under a different handle?

All those kinds of shows should start with: "Hey Bro, hold my beer!".

Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor.

Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

I don't get those channels at my house and have never seen Turtle Man. Caught part of Billy The Exterminator while at a friends house once.

Now when someone compares me to Billy, I quickly inform them that "No! I don't have the hair OR tattoos for it." I've heard enough about Turtle Man that when they compare me to him I just comment "What an idiot!"

I will say this much, though... Who's the guy on "River Monsters"? I want to go fishin' with him! grin

Jeremy Wade, he seems to be authenthic in his approach to what he does and is a good narrator for the programming. If find his shows to be educational and entertaining.

Love them or hate them they do make the world aware of people like us that do wildlife control. Now if a certain organization would spend some advertising money on some TV ads during those shows they could justify their super bucks dues.

I would just tell them the show is fake and you would be more than happy to nock down the walls in there house to remove the animals . We use traps so they don't need to hire a drywaller after were done . I haven't herd 1 siingle person ask me to be like that guy . I have herd many talk about that show infested and that show is great PR .

I grab every animal I can , it's nice to rap up a job with just one visit , I also try not to cause anymore damage to the home so that's where the traps come in . It would be nice to just oneway door them out but that doesn't work because they chew back in . The problem animal needs to be removed . If its a chimney coon that's different they can be pushed out and cap installed .

The few times I have had the misfortune to watch that show I have learned a few things.

1. Coons with short tails are a sign they have been kicked out of the pack.

2. The north american red fox is known to swallow it's prey whole.

Where do they come up with this crap???? Both of the above statements are wrong in so many ways. I also saw Billy's show where they were setting a live trap on a beaver dam because that is where they "hunted" at night. Pretty hard to stalk a tree.Idiots.




I'm itchin' to see a coyote twitchin'.

More trappin' and less yappin'.

Lets not forget Jim Fowler from the Mutual of Omahas Wild Kingdom. I talked to Jim before, and asked him why he did the crazy stuff he did. He told me that he was broke, in a new country(From Australia I think) And they offered him a lot of money. That guy took most animals by hand. He jumped out of choppers, and I dont think any of it was set up.( Of coarse I was 10)

Oh ya I remember that show . We where all brain washed as kids . Grab critters get animals with choke poles , run them down . Pick up animal crap and test for freshness . Turtle man wouldn't have made it as water boy on that show . It would be sweet to see that show again .

Actually saw my good friend , Forrest London ,( American Trap Talk ) dive in a murky pond and out swim ( and catch ) a turtle that he couldn't even see beforehand...all because I told him I didn't think he could !
I also saw him run down a fox squirrel across an open field, while holding a soda in one hand and I don't even think he spilled that much of it... laugh

Billy the Exterminator and Turtle Man... as a guy who ( actually) does ADC work, that stuff is insulting !
