[edit] Errors

I watch Mantracker often and noticed that there are two errors in this page:

1) Mantracker may not know what his prey look like, but he does know their backgrounds ahead of time. He has made numerous comments about the individual backgrounds (military, sporting, etc.) of his prey, when explaining his tracking decisions while he is on the move.

2) The page notes that "each episode sees two strangers form a team." This is not correct. While there have been some teams comprised of two people who didn't know each other prior to the show, the majority of the teams are made up of friends and coworkers, with a few married and common law couples in there as well.In season 1 the teams were strangers in season two it was partners that know each other. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.81.202.43 (talk) 06:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the "majority" of teams know each other. I have seen every episode and the majority appear to be strangers, but definately not all. Do you have proof that Season 1 was strangers and Season 2 was partners? If so, please add it and we can amend the article. For now, it's safe to say that some but not all teams are strangers. --Mezaco (talk) 02:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RCMP

Removed comment about training by RCMP. According to a press release available on the official website (under the media header, then the Alberta S&R page), this is in fact false in formation, and the RCMP do not provide such training. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.95.81 (talk) 23:33, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] For Future Expansion of This Page...

In case anyone wants to expand this page, I found a valuable article about Mantracker, including an interview with Terry Grant: http://www.hcha.ca/mantracker.htm RPM (talk) 09:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Camera

Ok, how is it that they film the "prey" if they are supposed to be running away. If there was a camera crew behind the people being tracked, it would be easy for the tracker to find them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.87.74.121 (talk) 01:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
