Call of the Wildman was an Americanreality television series that aired on Animal Planet from 2011 to 2014. The show followed the exploits of Kentucky woodsman Ernie Brown, Jr., nicknamed 'The Turtleman'. Aided by his friend, Neal James, and his dog, Lolly, Brown operated a nuisance animal removal business, catching and releasing nuisance animals. The series was primarily filmed near Brown's Lebanon, Kentucky, home.

Brown began catching snapping turtles from ponds near his home at the age of 7. He came to the attention of Animal Planet producers in part after an episode of Kentucky Educational Television's Kentucky Afield series that featured his bare-handed turtle-catching techniques was posted on YouTube and went viral. After personally visiting Brown and doing some initial filming, network executives decided to produce a 12-episode season of the series with the working title The Turtleman of Wild Kentucky. The title was soon changed to Call of the Wildman, a reference to Brown's distinctive yell that punctuates his actions throughout the series. The series was Animal Planet's most watched program in the fourth quarter of 2011 and was renewed for a second, 16-episode series that began airing in June 2012. In October 2012, Animal Planet re-released the series with bonus features and trivia information known as Call of the Wildman: More Live Action.

Call of the Wildman has been compared to other reality series featuring individuals from the Southern United States such as Billy the Exterminator, Duck Dynasty, Swamp People, and Rocket City Rednecks. Because it depicts Brown's spartan existence in the backwoods of Kentucky, some poverty advocacy groups have expressed concerns that it exploits stereotypical views of Southerners as being poorly educated, poorly groomed, and impoverished. Network executives insist, however, that they have received no negative feedback about the program.

Season 4 began on August 24, 2014.

Development[edit]

In 2006, the Kentucky Educational Television series Kentucky Afield devoted a portion of their weekly hunting and fishing oriented show to Brown and his turtle catching.^[1] The segment was posted on YouTube and went viral; as of June 2012, it had garnered more than 4 million hits.^[2] Among those who viewed the videos were NASCAR drivers David Ragan and Carl Edwards; Brown credits Edwards with introducing him to an entertainment lawyer and an agent.^[1] The video and a similar one posted on the web site of the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper also attracted the attention of television producer Matt Sharp of Sharp Entertainment.^[3] Brown relates that, while performing as a sideshow at the Mothman Festival in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, a group of executives from Sharp Entertainment and Animal Planet, who were there on an unrelated assignment, approached him about doing a television show.^[4] The executives told Brown that they had been trying to get in touch with him for over a year, but that his fellow performers had refused to deliver their messages to him.^[4]

In November 2010, Sharp sent a camera crew to film some of Brown's exploits.^[3] After seeing the footage, a producer from Animal Planet visited Brown and challenged him to 'entertain [her] for 12 hours'.^[3] Brown told the Herald-Leader that he took the producer on an outing in which he caught 11 turtles and a catfish.^[3] Following the producer's visit, Animal Planet decided to air a series of 12 half-hour episodes featuring Brown.^[5] Originally given the working title The Turtleman of Wild Kentucky, the name was changed to Call of the Wildman – a reference to Brown's signature yell.^[5][6] Brown describes the yell as 'an Indian yell' and explains, 'I got a quarter Shawnee and a quarter Cherokee. The other quarter is white man –

Premise[edit]

Despite his 'Turtleman' nickname, Brown caught all types of nuisance animals on the show, including raccoons, skunks, snakes, venomous spiders, and possums.^[7] His animal catching technique is designed to protect both himself and the animal from harm.^[8] Once he captured an animal, he relocated it to a safer location in the wild.^[8] For his services, he typically only received an amount sufficient to cover the cost of gasoline to drive to and from his destination.^[8]

In each episode of Call of the Wildman, Brown was accompanied by his best friend, Neal James, and his dog, Lolly. James serves as the secretary for Brown's business, fielding telephone calls from individuals in need of his services.^[9] Lolly has been Brown's pet ever since he rescued her from wandering the streets in the aftermath of a 2009 ice storm.^[9] He doesn't know her exact breed, but he believes her to be part Border Collie and part Australian Cattle Dog.^[9] Some episodes also feature other friends who help Brown – 'Turtle Team' – including handyman Jake Ison and David 'Squirrel' Brady.^[10] In some cases involving rats and the like, Brown also enlisted the help of a rat snake that lived on or near his property, Sir Lancelot.^[11] The snake died of unknown causes, possibly old age, in an episode aired in late 2014.^[11]

After a seven-month investigation, Mother Jones published an exposé of the show which includes testimony and supporting evidence that the crew obtained an opossum from a wildlife rescue in order to fake a supposed wildlife infestation at a fraternity house in Lexington, and that an infant raccoon died from an apparent lack of appropriate food and medical care after being in the possession of Ernie Brown for several days amongst numerous other actions alleged against Brown and crew.^[12]

Reception[edit]

A 2012 press release from Animal Planet announced that Call of the Wildman was the network's most popular show in the fourth quarter of 2011, garnering almost 780,000 viewers, and had been renewed for a second season consisting of 16 episodes, including a special episode to air during the network's 'Monster Week'.^[13] The release further noted that, in the second season, the show would film in locations other than Kentucky, naming Louisiana as an example.^[10] The episode 'Baby Mama Drama', which aired July 8, 2012, set a record for the show's largest audience ever, an estimated 1.6 million, according to the network.^[14]

The popularity of Call of the Wildman has prompted Brown's appearance on several television programs, including two visits to The Tonight Show.^[15] Shortly after telling his hometown newspaper, the Lebanon Enterprise that he wanted to meet CNN news anchor Anderson Cooper, Brown was invited to appear on an episode of Cooper's show, Anderson Cooper 360°.^[15] He told the paper he still has a dream of being on the cover of Rolling Stone.^[15]

Associated Press writer Dylan Lovan pointed out that Call of the Wildman was part of a growing number of similarly-themed reality shows that included Animal Planet's Hillbilly Handfishin', A&E's Billy the Exterminator, Duck Dynasty, History's Swamp People.^[2]The Washington Post's Roger Catlin pointed out that many of the shows feature individuals from the Southern United States and include pejorative terms like 'redneck' and 'hillbilly' in their titles; in addition to 'Hillbilly Handfishin', he cited National Geographic Channel's Rocket City Rednecks and CMT's My Big Redneck Vacation.^[16] Lovan noted that 'Brown fits the mold of the distinct Southern characters who populate cable TV', noting that he lives in a small home with no television or phone service, is missing his front teeth, and carries a foot-long Bowie knife he nicknamed 'Thunder'.^[2]

Ted Ownby of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture stated that he believes producers of shows such as Call of the Wildman 'build on preexisting stereotypes, so they don't need to build characters', and added that 'people of the South get frustrated at the narrow range of representations [of them]'.^[16] Dee Davis, president of the Center for Rural Strategies, expressed his concern that the shows approach 'the thin line between an honest documentary and exploitative reality show'.^[2] Animal Planet president Marjorie Kaplan insisted, 'We haven't received any negative response at all' to the show.^[16] Commenting on the potential for the show to advance negative stereotypes of Southerners, Animal Planet executive Dawn Sinsel added, 'As with all shows that explore a subculture of America that people might not be familiar with, we're careful to make sure that we represent the talent in their true colors and not 'cover up' their natural character. Turtleman likes to catch all types of animals. We hope Ernie's carefree and loyal personality and love of animals will replace any stereotypes.'^[3] Brown himself commented 'You either like the show and watch it, or you don't. I'm not doing anything wrong, just cheering people up.'^[2]

Controversy and aftermath[edit]

Critics of the series alleged that the scenarios and animal catching scenes featured on the show were scripted and faked using appropriated animals instead of naturally occurring events. Karen Bailey, founder of the Kentucky Wildlife Center, said that a 2012 episode of the show featuring Brown rescuing a family of raccoons trapped in a laundry room actually featured a male raccoon as the mother and baby raccoons obtained from two different locations.^[17] Following the episode, Bailey said the animals used for filming were brought to the Center, where one of the babies died.^[17]

The premier episode of the show's second season featured Brown removing two cottonmouth snakes from a public pool in Danville, Kentucky.^[18] After the show aired, the director of the Kentucky Reptile Zoo, Jim Harrison, stated that cottonmouths are not indigenous to the area where the scene was filmed and that the snakes must have been brought in for the show's filming; Animal Planet representatives denied the claim.^[18] The city later investigated and concluded that the snakes were placed in the pool by the show's crew, and that neither the crew nor the city parks department obtained the required approvals to do so.^[19]

Following the airing of the episode 'Deer Destruction' in 2013, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife sent Brown a letter to remind him that his Nuisance Wildlife Control Officer (NWCO) permit did not allow him to handle deer.^[17] The Department warned that any future violations could result in the revocation of his permit, a citation, or both.^[20] Brown's last NWCO license expired in February 2014, and the Department refused to renew it because he had not fully documented his captures in 2013.^[17]

On January 21, 2014, the magazine Mother Jones alleged that Brown appeared to have falsified records submitted to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife about what was captured, released, and euthanized on Call of the Wildman.^[12] Both the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) demanded an investigation by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regarding the allegations.^[21] In 2017, a USDA investigation concluded that the show exhibited a coyote, porcupines, raccoons, bats, armadillos and deer without a valid license in violation of the Animal Welfare Act.^[17] The main producer was fined $180,000, while an unnamed producer for the show was fined $1,800 for the violations.^[17]

After Brown lost his license, the show went off the air, but Brown and James continued to post animal rescue videos to YouTube and Facebook.^[17] James died on February 1, 2019 at age 55 from natural causes.^[22]

Dreaming Of Turtles

When the turtle is in danger it uses its shell as a protective blanket, without this shell the turtle is a defenseless animal.

I have loved writing this dream meaning because I am a complete turtle nerd. Many people purchase turtles as pets because of their cuteness, in dreams turtles can also be wild. Dreaming about a turtle can indicate that you are resisting change. In ancient dream lore, the turtle seen in a dream represents: balance, health, potential, faith, loyalty and above all protection. The slow pace of the turtle also indicates that progress will be made but it may take time to achieve your goals. The turtle can appear in your dreams in a wide range of ways, which I outline below in a question and answer format.

What does a turtle mean in your dream?

Turtles can take many forms in dreams. From the land turtle through to the sea turtle. Before I analyze the dream about a turtle, it is important that you know more about this creature. Its scientific name is Testudines; phylum is Chordata, and its highest classification is Testudinata. Turtles are reptiles which use their hard shells to protect themselves from predators. They are among the most primitive and oldest groups of reptiles which have evolved for over millions of years. They are found all over the world, and it is rather exciting to have such a dream. Spiritually speaking, the turtle is connected to self-defense and predators. The message, as I mentioned on the animal totem section of my website is that you are inclined to draw into your shell at the sign of problems. The dream is alerting you to understand the constraints and take on problems and challenges.

Is a turtle in a dream positive?

Yes, I will give you a brief overview if you have a dream where you see a turtle, it denotes that, you are going to experience great joy and a positive feeling full of peace of mind due to something that has occurred in your life in the recent past or present. While in this state of high spirit, it could be ideal to resolve some of the tough issues you might be encountering in life while working on your present project which will automatically succeed.

Turtles, in dreams, can represent how you are moving in life or owning your power and keeping things in balance. When it appears, note the speed at which it is moving, from that, ask yourself how slow or fast you are moving through a particular situation in life. Why is the turtle moving at a 'slow' pace? Is it because it is in danger? The timing of a particular action or decision in life will make the difference between whether it will work out or not. The turtle could appear in your dream to remind you that, you don't need to be afraid of anything; move forward even if it means in it takes time - as long as you reach your goal. Every dream we have is different and it is important to pay attention to all the details. It can suggest that you might be better off moving slowly in a particular situation than rushing through and making mistakes in the process as that can mean the difference between negative and positive results.

What do the different types of turtles mean in your dream?

The type of turtle is important. Kemp turtles are brown and yellow they are around 30 inches long. Spiritually this turtle is associated with a deep need to explore life as they often wonder the sea. Leatherbacks are large, and can weigh up to 2,000 pounds. The paradox of this dream indicates that people will feel grace, happiness and have a long-life. If you dream of this type of turtle then good things are soon to happen. Unfortunately, when I was researching this dream meaning I was sad to learn there are only 5,000 leatherbacks in the seas today as fishing methods have eliminated them over time. Sea turtles are from smaller species found in freshwater marshes and every sea turtle is unique. We all know the green sea turtle and they are popular due to snorkelers and divers going out to see them in the waters of the Caribbean. They eat shellfish and crabs. In order to understand the dream meaning around the 'types' of sea turtle, it is important to review what these actually mean. To see a nomadic leatherback turtle in the dream indicates a false person, due to their rubbery skin. A sea turtle in the ocean indicates your emotions will be up and down due to taking on challenges and a land turtle in a dream can suggest balancing your life and slow progression.

What's the dream interpretation of a sea turtle?

I have mentioned quite a bit above to give you a good picture of this dream meaning. A dream about a turtle canrepresent fertility, wisdom, shelter, motherhood, loyalty, slow but inevitable progress, and spiritual development. To dream of a sea turtle represents equal things. Yet, the sea turtle also represents withdrawn behavior, anxiety, and relaxation. If you dream of killing a sea turtle, this can imply that you could be feeling anxious. Do you feel you need relaxation?

What does it mean to watch a sea turtle in the sea?

Watching a sea turtle rising in the waves during a dream or disappearing into the ocean in a wonderful omen. Seeing multiple turtles can suggest that you will experience a greater meaning in life. There is an instinctive part of your own nature that may be hiding your real feelings. This dream is calling your attention to areas of your life that you may be neglecting, also a sign of not rushing into decisions. The turtle is primeval and sympathetic in regard to an animal totem.

What does it mean to dream of being chased by a turtle?

Being chased by a turtle is an interesting dream as the pace of a turtle is so slow and steady. I can only imagine that in your dream the turtle was fast-moving and if this is the case you are postponing something important. Such a dream represents the fact that you're avoiding a specific person in your waking life. To dream of being chased by multiple turtles indicates that you will encounter an emotionally damaged person who hides behind an emotionless facade. They don't let anyone inside. Dreaming of running away from a turtle indicates you recently earned your wealth in an unexpected way. This dream can be symbolic in that you should let the person near you or run away. To be chased by a sea turtle in your dream also implies to your need to get away from people. The sea turtle is connected to our emotions, try not to underestimate people. Just like the turtle is being underestimated because of their slow pace. Yet, everyone forgets that this creature is untouchable due to the protective shell. This dream can imply focusing on other people's flaws, and not listen to your own qualities or understand your problems.

What does it mean to be chased by a heard of turtles?

A dream where a herd of turtles chases you denotes that, your life is full of difficulties and problems which you are finding hard to face. In order to understand the dream also consider the term 'their off like a herd of turtles,' it indicates that they're going to be slow-moving individuals and it will be a long time before they reach a goal. In a business context, this dream indicates that you may find somebody who doesn't want to progress or that a task may take a long time.

What does the chasing turtles in a dream mean?

If you are hunting or looking for turtles in the dream this indicates that instead of solving problems, this dream can imply that you try to run away from them. In the process, problems may become bigger with each passing day. The dream is reminding you that, nobody else can sort the problems in your life but yourself. It is time you stopped running after that slow turtle (which in a metaphor means not reaching your potential) and concentrate on solving them to moving on in life.

What does it mean to dream of an aggressive turtle?

To dream of aggressive turtles suggests that you will progress slowly but continuously. Are you hiding from the harsh reality? If so, this won't bring you any good. If you stand up for what you believe and actually do something that matters, maybe you will manage to embellish some parts of the world that you don't like. If the turtle was attacking you this can (in dream lore) indicate underestimating kindness.

What does it mean to dream of an injured turtle?

As I have already mentioned, turtles represent wisdom, smartness, intellect, and untouchability. I like to think that the turtle in your dream represents you. To stab or harm a turtle in a dream indicates that you hold unbeatable inner strength. Your determination is something other people admire but don't admit. To see an injured turtle in your dream means you're about to face some difficulties while doing the right thing. However, your dream predicts, that if you overcome these difficulties. The injured turtle signifies broken trust. Don't let your emotions control you. If you look after the turtle in a dream this can imply that you will practice forgiveness. Seeing a turtle bleeding in my research suggests in a work context victory will be inevitable and speedy decisions will soon be made.

What does it mean to dream of touching a turtle?

To touch or stroke a turtle is one of the most common dreams and in old dream lore symbolizes pleasure. In my opinion, this can indicate that you will experience something beautiful, something you've never experienced before. You will feel reborn, even feel invincible. To touch a sea turtle can imply that you will recognize the greater good in life. This is a state will hold on to you till the rest of your life. Hopefully, the turtle in this context will change your way of thinking and your perception. Your attitude towards life will also change for better.

What does it mean to dream of a snapping turtle?

To dream of a turtle that bites or snaps suggest you may encounter an aggressive person. In order to improve, you must stay away from whatever's making you feel anxious, worthless, less valuable, and undervalued. You're unique. People act like they own you, however, they forget that only you own you. Show them their place. I hope this gives you some clarity. The snapping turtle in some ways can represent people who wish to do you harm.

What does it denote to dream of a turtle living in damp places?

In dream psychology terms the damp place can mean 'hiding away' for a while. To dream of a turtle living in a damp place, such as a cave, foretells that you're an intelligent person who prefers to live alone, and focus on your career, and inner peace. Your knowledge is becoming bigger with time. Have you hidden away in order to get your work done? I will say, that yourfuture is very bright. Loneliness is your best friend right now as you have lots to do. What others see as a disadvantage in your life, remains a valuable asset to you.

What does it mean to dream of turtle eggs?

Sea turtles lay eggs, like most reptiles. They are an egg producer which in Latin is known as 'ovum parterre.' Seeing turtle eggs, or a baby turtle indicates that you will slowly develop an idea for the better. It takes around two months before the baby turtle emerges. Seeing hatching turtles in a dream can indicate that you will absorb new starts. Turtles eggs are also all about waiting and slow progress. So, what do ancient dream dictionaries say on turtle eggs in dreams? A dream where you see turtle eggs is an indicator that, you will need to let go of worries and responsibilities. This dream can also relate to work. When at your place of work, you will need to learn about how to work with fellow workers, delegating where necessary. There is another hidden meaning when at home, you will need to learn to give your spouse and children more freedom to try out new things, make mistakes which will enable them to grow and learn on their own without your helping hand all the time.

What's the dream interpretation of having a turtle as a pet?

Turtles are kept as pets but are hard work. I have had many turtles over the years. In ancient dream lore, to keep a turtle as a pet reflects financial benefits from your latest efforts at work. This dream can imply that you have tried to implement your ideas and make them profitable. Someone will notice your potential soon if you bought a turtle from a pet store. After I reviewed some older dream books it indicates financial bliss will be yours shortly. This could be as a result of the completion of a project which you have been working on for a very long time, and it is profitable. If you kept the turtle in a cage it can signify (spiritually) you will be the beneficiary of an inheritance from a relative, or you could win a game. Whatever brings you the financial breakthrough could be varied, but the main point is that you are going to enjoy the financial benefits. When it happens, invest it wisely for a rainy day in the future.

What does it mean to dream of a turtle lying on their back?

To dream of a turtle lying on your back means that someone close to you possesses unique skills. However, the person is often taken for granted. Think of this dream as if the turtle is unprotected by its shell. This dream indicates feeling undervalued. Instead of staying in a job where you're no longer wanted, find a place that will welcome you with open arms.

What does it mean to dream of multiple turtles?

To see multiple turtles in a dream represents relaxation, protection from friends and family, and absolute love. Whatever bothers you in life indicates that you will have inner peace in life. Seeing a turtle on a beach in a dream can indicate a new beginning or growth for the future.

What does it mean to dream of an empty turtle shell?

A turtle shell remains a symbol of shelter, protection, and inner peace. To see a shell in your dream means you're well protected from the many dangers around you. This dream can indicate your own negative and self-destructive thoughts. However, if the turtle shell was empty, it suggests you should stop pretending to be something you're not. This dream can indicate that you are feeling withdrawn. The turtle shell I feel is like a cage you have created for your own safety. Allow yourself to walk into the unknown.

Having looked at a more ancient meaning, an empty turtle shell in your dream symbolizes protection and shelter against the world and your inner thoughts. In the case at some point you see a turtle hiding in the shell, then it means that you are sheltering yourself from life realities. This dream occurs when we are feeling that we are not ready for what is happening around us. And, when we are better off staying in our own comfort zone. An empty turtle shell is an indication of putting forward a hard exterior, which is making you feel withdrawn. In your dream, if you see a turtle walking minus the shell, it implies that you have bared your inner self and thoughts of those around you. Do you have feelings of vulnerability if you open to others? If the empty shell you are observing in your dream is broken, it is a sign that, there is a breakdown of trust between you and those around you. Due to unavoidable reasons, that which used to hold a relationship together has broken and thus making you feel defenseless because the person whom you trusted most has hurt you.

What does it mean to see turtles on a beach?

Turtles breed on beaches and can remember which beach was used as a breeding ground. A dream where a turtle is could mean that you have someone in your circle of friends who are very knowledgeable, but it seems as though those around them are not recognizing it. Alternatively, the dream could imply that you are an angry and jealous person in waking life. It is dangerous because it might make you break up with a dear friend or a loving relationship, just because of your emotions. It is a warning that you need to change your attitude before it is too late.

What does it mean to dream of an injured turtle?
