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.

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!

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'.

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