Hate to be Cpt. Bringdown but I never liked that show. Seems like the whole thing was totally staged.

^^i agree - i think there was a member on here who worked on the crew, and said that they reenacted the whole thing a second time to get the video. anyhow, i do like the mantracker, and can't imagine that they'd continue the show without our High River homie... i mean, that dude IS mantracker!

That sucks, I always had a soft spot for that show and I doubt it will feel the same without him.

As Guillermo mentioned, it was "staged" to a certain extent - they did the actual event/hunt and then re-enacted it for the cameras as they would have a heck of a time keeping up with Mantracker lugging cameras and setting up shots. It's not uncommon to do that; Top Gear's epic car vs. public transport races are shot the same way.

Love the show! It won't be the same without him, get him back ffs, his salary can't be that much.
