Terry Grant is a full-blooded cowboy living in the wrong century. This Albertan has been a full time ranch cowboy for almost 25 years. An expert horseman and wilderness professional, hunting, guiding and tracking come second nature. Whether man or beast, he will track them down. His keen instincts, intense character, and specialized skills have made him a crucial member of the Foothills Search and Rescue Team. His reputation is always on the line and he doesn't let up for a second. A steely-eyed cowboy with a killer, never-say-die attitude, Terry Grant is MANTRACKER.

Mantracker is a Canadian reality television series that airs on the Outdoor Life Network. It debuted in April 2006.

Two people take off into the bush with a map, a compass and a head start. The tracker is on horseback, armed with a local guide and an arsenal of forensic skills. The prey have 36 hours to reach a finish line some 40 kilometers away without getting caught. How they escape is up to them.

Each episode sees two people, who often have a pre-existing relationship, but not always, form a team referred to as the "Prey". The Prey must travel from the Start to the Finish without getting caught by the "Mantracker". The show always takes place in rough, remote terrain.

Mantracker has completed three seasons, the third of which is currently showing on OLN, Mondays at 9:00pm, and Saturdays 10:00pm EST

The prey begin their trek with (usually) a two kilometer head start, and need to reach a goal destination (often located over 40 kilometers away), equipped with a simple map and compass for navigation. The Prey have thirty-six hours in which to outrun and outwit the Mantracker and make it to the finish.

The Prey travel through varied terrain, often cutting through dense brush or rocky ground and even swimming across lakes to escape the Mantracker. Although they travel on foot, they are not restricted to that mode of transportation: for example, one episode featured the Prey hitching a ride for a short portion.

The "Mantracker" is Terry Grant, a 25-year-veteran of the Alberta Foothills Search and Rescue Team, and an expert in using clues such as footprints, probable path, and other signs of human presence to track prey. In each episode the Mantracker is paired with a local guide who knows the territory. Traveling on horseback, the Mantracker and the guide have no information on who they are tracking (other than a flare that marks the starting point of the Prey). The Mantracker takes every chase as a matter of personal and professional pride, considering his reputation at stake.

The race usually contains an overnight stop along the way, but there is no set stopping and starting time for the nightly break.

The race ends if either the Prey successfully arrive at the Finish, or if they are caught by Mantracker or his guide. Mantracker does not have to physically catch the Prey but usually he and his horse will have to get close enough to the prey to be able to physically catch them.

Through the first two seasons, Mantracker has a successful capture rate of 68% (10 prey have reached the finished, 23 have been captured, and 1 contestant had time expire on him).
