Call of the Wildman[edit]
- ... that the Animal Planet series Call of the Wildman documents the exploits of a Kentucky woodsman who catches and relocates snapping turtles using only his bare hands?

Article appears to meet the criteria of 5x expansion, although DYK check says it doesn't. Well sourced; the two "citation needed" flags are not for important statements. Hook needs work. While it is true that he was initially noticed for his ability to catch turtles bare-handed, the show is about catching and releasing all types of nuisance animals--not just turtles. He also doesn't use "only his bare hands". Brown frequently uses a wooden baton to help control the animal. Mgrē@sŏn 15:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
- Sounds like a fan of the show! :) Issues raised are fair. How about "... that the Animal Planet series Call of the Wildman documents the exploits of a Kentucky woodsman who catches and relocates nuisance animals such as raccoons, snakes, and possums using primarily his bare hands?"

Works for me. I'd say we're good to go. Mgrē@sŏn 12:21, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
