Turtleman: The Call of the Wildman!

Hunts for arrowheads, tussles with critters - Turtleman knows every inch of Marion Co.

Who Is Turtleman?

The Turtleman (Ernie Brown Jr.) is a national celebrity, a Kentucky treasure, and a resident of the land he knows best: Marion County. His show "Call of the Wildman," featured for four seasons on Animal Planet, was based out of Marion County. The show wrapped after 72 episodes in 2014, but Turtleman is still active in his efforts to share South Central Kentucky's interesting critters and deep-woods treasures through his internet shows and other events.
