Naturalist Joe Hutto could be the closest thing we have to Dr. Doolittle. He previously embedded himself with wild turkey chicks and bighorn sheep. In "Touching the Wild," he hangs with wild mule deer in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. Some social life. 7 p.m. TPT, Ch. 2
Good company

9 p.m. TV Guide
