I fucking love that show. I laughed so hard at the episode where the two black guys kept talking about White man with horse chasing slave, etc. Also: The Episode with the two Canadian SWAT guys was great. They worked in a team, knew when to drop weight, they came prepared. |

Two downhill skiers if I remember correctly...their advantage was being in good shape, and able to run where the horses couldn't follow. |

Agreed, + How about going where horses can't go? Gee, they're going to be on horse back and could run down a trail faster than you could run on foot, so what should you do? 
If I could choose any TV show to be on right now, it would be Mantracker. You'll know its me if I get in because I will be dressed from head to toe in Multicam, run around in a ghille suit, and carry the most up to date, high speed, low drag gear that money can buy

They had a show once where one guy didn't just have camo, but wore a ghillie suit. He crawled along a grass pasture to "stay hidden" - Mantracker just followed the depressed trail of grass he left behind. |
Yeah, the consensus is that the mantracker just cycles through good vantage points and track traps rather than actually tracking the target. Surprisingly, none of the applications submitted by trackers to be tracked on the show were accepted. 
Of course, I am sure that they wouldn't have let the target do anything about the camera crew's footwear so MT could still just track the film crew's prints. Hell, he could probably do it using acoustics as the camera crews zip around on ATV's for the long vantage shots. There was some talk of Discovery putting together an actual tracking show where tracker had to stay on the target's path. Supposedly, they were negotiating with a tracker who learned his trade from the Rhodesian military during the colonial bush wars in Africa, but nothing ever seemed to come from it. Now there's even a tactical tracking team in Modesto, CA so they could have even gotten the full experience, or at least as much as could be shown on TV. |
