Will people compare the new guy to Terry? Sure they will, but I won't. He is the Mantracker and is himself; that is what was admirable about him. The new guy may be just as good and if he is my hat will be off to him too. Thanks for the run, Terry. You always made us Albertans proud when you captured those "fugitives". Not sure I was ever proud of him as an Albertan when he captured the "fugitives" That's nothing, he crashed my birthday party last year!
He had a good run and it's time for him to move on. I hope he enjoys sucess wherever the next road leads him. No one is irreplaceable. They found someone to take over for the Arrow Affliction dude It's dissapointing, but life goes on. There was more than one Batman, more than 1 James Bond.
Some where better than others. I am just glad I got to meet Terry. And meeting him is a story that my boys will be bragging about for years. I will still watch it based on the premise of the show. I like the idea. Opens some eyes for some people. I think they should do the same with Rodeo. Might shut up a bunch of city idiots that keep calling Cowboys "pansies". They have no idea. I'd pay a dollar to see that!
Perhaps you don't like the show, but you don't like the man? LOL Like or dislike is an emotion. It doesn't require personal contact. With anyone it's really "From what I know or see of him I don't like him". Anyway, from the comments here it seems that anyone who has met and spent time with the guy likes him, so I change my vote to "I don't like his act, but maybe it's just an act for TV".
Moderately entertaining, good clean fun, doesn't hurt anything. Musta been into the rum last night hey Git! Admittedly yes. But my spelling and grammar skills hadn't been affected.
And I patiently read the heated argument between sheep and chuck in the brown bear thread and managed to stay out of it I think I stopped at 3. Terry is a true gentleman and a classy person Terry Grant would not be willing to come back based on principal.
He's the steely-eyed cowboy who stares unflinchingly at the horizon until his human prey stumble into view. But a six-year run on the Outdoor Life Network show has come to an end for the Alberta cowboy.
The show will continue, but without the venerable Grant. I had no idea it was this big. Give two people a map, a compass and a head start in open bush country. Then Grant and a partner spend the next 36 hours riding after them on horseback. The show is shot across the continent from Newfoundland to the west coast, from the Yukon to California.
Show hitting its prime The show was hitting its prime this season as stars in their own right were lining up to be cast as prey. Grant's fame even led the professional tracker to be invited to train British soldiers how to spot improvised explosive devices IEDs hidden in the ground in Afghanistan.
And the reality TV star said he will have no problem going back to mere reality. They will wage Facebook campaigns in his honour, vowing never to watch another episode after season six, his last. You work at a place for a few years and then the next job comes along and you move on.
He worked for some of the largest ranches in the province, and got his first tracking experience herding cattle. He said weather plays a big role in it, with people getting lost in the fog or snow. Grant said that while he has not been a member of the FSAR for the past six years, due to his shooting schedule, that he is still affiliated with the group that is based in Turner Valley, near Calgary, Alberta, and now includes 75 members.
Grant put his experience to work while he served as Mantracker, in locations all over Canada and the United States. He had an average successful capture rate of 70 per cent over six seasons. An impressive statistic considering the challenging terrain, and tricky prey, who often tried to mislead him on the show.
When I got mad, it was because I was mad. When I laughed it was because something was funny. The things I said just fell out of my face. Grant said the addition of a horse to the tracking game is a definite bonus.
It just takes practice. The prey travel as three people. Two contestants and one cameraperson. The cameraperson stays hidden with the prey. The people who operate the cameras are very experienced in the outdoors, much more so than the prey typically are. The way that they do it for the most part is there was one cameraman with each unit. They follow you the whole time. This question is, I believe, the result of a misconception. How do the camera people get all those great shots without being seen?
How do they get ahead of the prey for shots of them jumping over fences or something? After the chase, the producers will identify portions of the chase for which there is no footage or poor footage. Those portions of the chase, not affecting the outcome, will be reenacted by the prey and Mantracker. From Canadian Cowboy Country Magazine :. After the chase is over, the crew and participants go back to the noted locations - which are generally gorgeous - and reshoot some segments to get better footage.
For four days afterwards, you return to where they hit their GPS, and they watch the video. It looks like you came around this bush, and you stopped right there.
All right, you ran across that creek and then up that side. You have two Cameramen with you, one with a shoulder mounted HD steady cam, and another with a small hand held HD cam. They are both dressed in full camouflage and have shot every single episode of the six seasons of Mantracker.
They are both experts at what they do. If you drop down to hide, they drop. If you sprint indefinitely through the forest, they are with you. Anything you do, they do. However, they do leave footprints — but so do you. The truth is you are going to be leaving footprints no matter what.
For the record, both the Cameramen are really good guys too. What about the helicopter shots? Helicopter shots are also shot after the chase.
Too noisy during the chase.
