It's honestly amazing to me that hes lost so many teeth but somehow throughout all these years kept all his fingers
Well his name isn’t chainsaw man. He ain’t got no defense for a chainsaw.
so true hahahaha
@@jawnhansen235 YUU EEE
He only kept the essentials for catching turts
😂
Turttle: can't wait to relax in my new pond away from distractions.
Turttleman: heyeyeheyeyeyeye
🤣🤣🤣
😂🔥😆🔥
This is on point 😆😆
Lol.
And that’s how you know your dun fer. The turtle man call
This dude is honestly inspiring. He knows exactly who he is, lives how he wants to live, and appears genuinely happy. More than most of us can say.
Why is hunting turtles!
@@theworkethic found the show why don’t u do us all a favor and crawl back into your little safe space where you won’t have to witness things that upset your little feelings #beta
@@theworkethic probably turning them into food and selling it.
@@theworkethic turtle soup, some people eat turtle. I don’t but from what I hear it’s pretty good. It’s a southern thing
This dude drugged animals and placed them in buildings so he can go in and catch them.
This man's going to live forever. His immune system must be magical.
This is what peak male performance looks like
He doesn't catch covid, covid catches him lol
Nah, he won’t live forever… he’s just going to actual “ live a life “ while his body is alive.
He died this morning. Heartbreaking!!
@@tjmckenzie4048 just looked around on the internet a bit. You liar. Your lie or you show sources because nowhere says this.
I remember binge watching this guy after a long day of 5th grade
Edit: woah didn’t expect this many likes and comments. Hope everyone’s doing well in this life

This man got his teeth cut off by a chainsaw, he goes hunting for snapping turtles or alligator snapping turtles with bare hands, no shirt, and just pants, thee legendary hill billy
Yea but he also handled animals so roughly that he killed a baby raccoon whilst "saving" it aka swinging it around until its death, went to jail eventually. He then died from a heart attack too.
@@monke_ofman748 no he didn't die that was his friend neil that died. The banjo guy
He's lying about the chainsaw incident

I just met this guy today at a pheasant expo for kids to have fun shooting guns and bows and getting free gifts. Turtle man came to it and set up a little booth with all his Indian artifacts and fossils. We talked for probably 20 minutes, he's a really good dude!
Turtle Man!!!!!!!!❤😂🎉
😮
I totally forgot about this guy and that yell just took me all the way back to sitting in my living room as a kid eating cereal watching this guy every week 🤣
You read my mind bro, animal planet was filled with hidden gems
What does he collect turtles for?
You gotta be my twin man, I done the same exact thing as a kid 😂😂😂
My bro came in one day attracted by his distinctive warcry, "what the hell are you watching?" A few minutes later he was seated next to me enjoying prime red neck entertainment
River monsters anyone?
“I try not to smile cause I got my teeth knocked out by a chainsaw” :(
We love you, with or without teeth, turtleman!
rmiddlehouse I’m sorry How exactly?
Oooooh Nevermind Watched more of the vid sorry XD
rmiddlehouse he abused animals and got his show taken down and was taken to jail
Supreme Productions I love how people delude themselves into believing animals wouldn’t do the same to us if they were half as intelligent.
@@DukeEllision329 I love how people try to justify being cruel because its easier to go through life thinking everyone else is worse than you.

@@europeanian4205 Who Asked?
@@topramen5884 he’s European lol
I would 1,000% rather hang out with this man than anybody in Hollywood/pro sports/politics, etc. Seems like a cool guy who's just living his best life.
Simp
Guarantee he listens to every word you say and genuinely cares about your well being too. :) These types of people are great to meet. Find them all along the southeastern coast of the US.
@@synestheticstudio I say this all the time. The nicest people are in the south east!
@@synestheticstudio typically the further you go, the nicer they get. Maybe I'm crazy but that's what it always seemed like to me! From VA down!
I definitely could go to his house cause i live not nil to far away
I like in Kentucky. My realtor said when he was in high school. He live a few miles for him. His parents owned a corner store that he worked at. “Turtle man” would come in frequently. He was true to his character and exactly like he was on tv. He told everyone he was getting a tv show and nobody believed him until one day he brought in a bunch of brochures about it. He said he never changed and never acted a thing. He was the exact guy you see on tv. Unfortunately there was a rumor he wasn’t paid well and still lives in the same house in the same town.
Sounds like the TV industry. Pay people as little as possible
So I met turtle man yesterday at work, knew I seen his face before, and seen him today agin at work, and wow I knew who he was. This man is exactly the same as filmed one of a kind stand up man.
Do you work with him?
Was going to ask how is he doing? What is he up to now a days
Yeah where?
He’s lying guys turtle man passed a year ago..

He is an absolute Chad. No drugs, no alcohol, spending his days outdoors. The ideal life.
He definitely drinks alcohol
@@DarkDoughnutsVids Did you get that from the part where he said he abstains from drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes?
im wondering how he lost all his teeth
whats "Chad" about it ? drugs and alcohol ?
If you belive that....you're a turtlehead
i freaking love this guy. i remember watching his show when i was a kid. hearing his cry when he catches the turtles bring backs memories.
No wonder USA is such a superpower! Which other country has a guy like this? What a guy!
@@farhatqureshi8562 bro your name sounds like poop sounds
@@farhatqureshi8562 don’t disrespect Steven Irwin like that
I watched this guy catch a skunk under someones trailer in a bag, and he got sprayed in the face multiple times in the process. 😆😆 this man is an absolute character. One of a kind. And he's genuine from what I understand, don't think he's an actor.
Cody Chickadee , he works for State of Kentucky Wildlife
LMAO 😂
Hahahaha this is hilarious 😂 😂 😂
If he’s an actor then he deserves an Oscar !
He got sentenced to jail for animal abuse
WAIT A MINUTE, you cant just throw out "got my teeth knocked out by a chainsaw" without telling the WHOLE story
What's the story?
@@WildInKY He was trying to chop one of them turles open as a kid with a rock then his lil brother came running into the pond splashing mud everywhere blinding this guy which resulted in him dropping the turtle which hit the rake so the rake came flying into his father's face who had been cutting trees for the fire and then his father fell completely snapping his ribs into 3 equal squares so this man ran to his father then tried to fix his broken ribs hitting him with that rock so his brother watching from afar thought this man had gone insane and was hellbent on killing his father so as he ran towards this guy the turtle that was STILL walking towards the lake tripped him so the brother fell to the ground breaking HIS ribs so thinking this man had somehow used telekinesis to shove him in the ground he let out a final "If I'm going ta hell I'm taken ya down wif me!" So with his dying breath he lunged at his fathers side, grabbed the chainsaw and used the last of his infernal rage to go for the head but then he faltered and this is the only damage he could do... As he fell... Lifeless...

Can't bite the cattle if they're hoisted out of the mud, ass first, by the force of nature known only as "Turtle Man"
This is a man who knows what he loves and loves what he does. He's living the dream.
I’ll never forget watching HOURS of this man working. Was always a good time.
“They think I’m crazy, but they can’t help but like me”

I see him every other week end
@@epkool20onmobile4 where? Lmao
5:17 Gatorade give this man a deal......
on god
I mean now I want to drink Gatorade and go wrestle with the snapping turtles!
No, Gatorade gave money to the rioters
After watching a recent video with him in it, I love how he evolved his style of holding snapping turtles, no longer holding them just by the tail which could hurt them. Just goes to show how much he has evolved!
He's a character. So full of life. No way would I ever get in a pond to do that 😳 I wish they would bring his show back on TV 😊
Can’t believe people don’t know who this is he used to have his own show I would watch it all the time in middle school
I knew Steve Irwin. Never heard of this guy til my friend told me
Yo same, I loved this guys show where he would catch animals that people complainer about. What was the name of his chubby bearded friend though.
Bruh Lit I think it was like squirrel man or sum
What year was he on tv? I was born in 95, don’t remeber him at all.

This has to be the most genuine footage I’ve viewed. Really hit with that nostalgia as well
I haven’t seen Gatorade bottle like that in a while maybe 1998
That guitar jingle they had playing was pretty magical too

He is crazy brave. I’d be too scared to wade around in a pond like that. One wrong step and a turtle might take my toe off.
Nevermind the sitting cow dung that’s not moving anywhere….
Man I remember watching him when I was little! Boy how time has flew and changed! I loved this show ❤️
I miss seeing this guy on TV. Live action!
I see him most weekends. He’s just a town treasure at this point

Kade Blackak was just about to say that😂
Hahahaha
LMAO
This dude made yee yee Famous
I thought that was Billy Idol! 😁
Wtf Ye ye been famous since way before tv
Omg.... I totally forgot about this guy. Great throwback!
I loved this show when I was in high school, these beasts don't even exist in my country so watching this guy catching them was so fascinating to me, I hope he's doing fine!
"...or Typhoid, or..."
"Nah, it'd be uhh water snakes"
I've met him, his wife, and Squirrel (before Squirrel passed). Hes a very cool person.
Wait squirrel died??
@@hawgball722 I heard squirrel 🐿 was a bit of a nut 🌰
this man is living the dream, pure joy catching these turtles. I need to catch my turtle one of these days
Just found this channel look great, I'm subbing!
I remember watching turtleman when I was little all the time! I was also able to meet him 3 weeks ago! THE sweetest man ever, heard his famous stories, and did a group dance with him, his personality is like you see on TV.
At 2:48, he almost became the Turtle lady
I saw that yikes !!!!!
😂
Yo for real
Love this guy. I miss watching yer shows.
I met this guy years ago.. he always smiles so although he don't like to he still does.. met him before he was famous
I love the thought of him coming home from a long day of turtle catching, sitting down, writing in him journal how many turtles he caught that day, while sipping on a Gatorade.
And after he goes to bed you open his journal to read about his adventures and its just squiggles and lines.
@@HOAXTelevisionyour comment was underrated 😂
Loved the show. Seen ever one 14 times each and would still watch them 14 more times each. Turtle man and turtle team are sadly missed on my tv

Same. But I called him the wild man.

Watch them nuts turtle man
He has a TH-cam channel, not sure how often he posts but hes on here.
I sweat bullets when he dangles the turtle’s mouth right next to his junk
Such a happy beautifully spirited man. Simplicity at its best.
Used to love watching his show as a kid on Animal Planet.
watched this guy all the time as a kid and seeing him now is just crazy brings back good memories
I used to watch turtleman all the time. Then started to see it less and less until it was rarely on tv anymore. If you wanted real life entertainment and drama, his show was what you would want to see
The real definition of a rich man

That was a great show, they need to bring you back!!
I tell you what. Them Alligator snapping Turtles 🐢 ain’t nothing to mess around with!

What a lovely fella.
This is what got me hooked on this show. I met him at the KY Renaissance Fair shortly after.
Same!
I live in the same town so he comes around every so often
I remember watching this in 2009. The only thing I remembered from it was him saying - "I don't have a horn so I just do this yeee-hooo!" Cracked me up
Power to ya man! What a joy to watch ya!
Me and my little brother used to get excited for every episode 😂
This guy was built for television. Natural born entertainer.
The fact that this guy and I drive the same truck gives me so much pride.
This man seems happier than most of us on our phones
I remember this! Brings back good memories, good times, better times
What an awesome guy great personality definitely miss him
I really enjoyed this programme, great genuine guy! Reall Shame it’s not on anymore!!
