The Mantracker Poll

Mantracker rocks!

He'd get the unabomber easy, but have you ever read Eric (Olympic bomber) Rudolph's on the run stories? He'd give Manhunter a challenge.

O.T.

But, smalldeadanimals.com was quoted the the Ft McMurray (Alberta, Canada) newspaper today.

"Waiting for the Asteroid"

The Mantracker's job is a no-brainer. All he has to do is follow the camera crews.

"Reality TV? Haaack, Ptooee."

Wait, let me restate that: "TV? Haaack, Ptooee."

Gordinkneehill -- As much as I love watching the sometimes Girl Tracker with my boys, in my mind I am still comparing it to WWF, and how real it really is. It is all in the editing. It seems to me that they can make it look like something that happened on day one, actually happened on day two.

There really is no question about who would win this one. The poll I'd like to see is Mantracker vs. Michael Oros That guy was more animal than man.

Sounds like a show the Left will complain about because there aren't any dainty, stylish girly-men in it, like, say, those who run the Liberal Party, or because girly-men are portrayed as stupid and incapable of taking care of themselves. Can't have shows glorifying those horrible redneck folks who believe in self-sufficiency while spreading hatred and contempt of urbane, sophisticated girly-men! Expect a "human rights" complaint against Mantracker soon by an apparent girly-man whose name sounds like "Warrin' Man" or perhaps by some meanie-guy who eats sweet & sour cat balls with cat fried rice...

Damn... if I had cable, now there's a show worth watching... Hey, wait... it's available on DVD...

Hmm... you know, I'd love to see Kate on that show... no doubt the Mantracker would get a run for his money, as we've already seen Kate kick lots of tough-guy ass (hi, Warren!) and know she can hold her own against this Mantracker guy... Besides, a little eye-candy can't hurt the show's popularity... :)

Canadian Sentinel, with all due respect and so forth, Warren wouldn't qualify as "tough-guy ass" at a Quaker girl scout meeting.

Mantracker, no question. And as far as the camera crews, what we see on TV is filmed afterwards, I think.

I voted for the unibomber. Then I had second thoughts. I see this guy was trained by the micky mouse police...... so..... this is what I think would happen.
Keep in mind that until caught (maybe) no one knew who the unibomber was.
This guy would sit in the bushes and wait until some one with a dangerous weapon in their hand, like a walking stick, or maybe a stapler in their back pocket (the old concealed weapon), Shoot him/her in the back and claim it was self defence.
He would then claim it was the unibomber and who but the unibomber could prove him wrong. Of course the canadian legal industry would back this micky mouse trained guy to the hilt.

Unibomber for the win

Ted would leave a trail...right up to an IED.

Oatmeal - you apparently missed the episode where the US military guy left "boobytraps".

If you'd seen that, you'd realize that if Mantracker didn't spot them, the horse would.

You forget that Mantracker wouldn't even make it past his driveway on the way to the hunt.

"Oh Mr. Mantracker.....special delivery!"

Guy being followed wins if he's allowed a scoped rifle. Otherwise, not so much.

Ted's a pretty old geezer now though, he probably can't go that far.

Unabomber. At least get the spelling right.

Can we vote on Mantracker vs Warren Kinsella?

Since we are talking Unibomber , heres a great quiz:

Who wrote it, Al Gore or the Unibomber?

Ultimately old Teddy boy would "win" because he was the only one wise enough to carry a weapon into a show down. I can see the puzzled look on that unarmed Kanuk putz's face as his ass is blown out of the saddle after hitting the trigger string on one of Ted's IEDs.

This Peacenik cowboy wouldn't last a week in Kandahar....all horse opera and no gun.

How about mantraker meets Ted Nugent?

Who is "Mantracker"? Is he a Les Stroud wannabe? Les is very cool. While Bear Grylls is better looking, Les does it alone so has the edge in authenticity.

Only watched one episode of "Man-tracker" and the rules limited the reality. No ambushes, no traps, IED....an unarmed fugitive on foot versus an unarmed puruer with a local guide.
Some-one physically fit, experienced in the finer art of violence, in a nasty mood, and operating on familiar ground would have Man-tracker's guts for garters.

Black Mamba @ 7:23 AM: Of course, you're right. What was I thinking? I guess I was really referring to Catmeat's tough guy ACT, to clarify. No wonder it's so easy to make him slip and fall down like a drunken Kramer...

But I stand by my desire to see Kate on the show doing her best against the best... And how about she team up with... Sarah Palin? I'd definitely buy the DVD of that!

I'll take the real world maniac over the make-believe world of entertainment guy any day.

Kaczynski undoubtedly is familiar with firearms, and the Mantracker always tracks unarmed people.

Question in a similar vein: who would win a boxing match between Rocky Balboa and Vitali Klitschko?

Phantom - if you can't hit a man-sized target at 250 meters with iron sights, you're not much of a rifleman.

As a "sidekick" of Mantracker in the Big muddy i gotta go with the man. We would of had old Ted hog tied and hand deliver to the FBI just like the good old days of the Big Muddy outlaws.

Terry Grant is the real McCoy. He may be on TV but that does not make him just an entertainer. He is a 25-year-veteran of the Alberta Foothills Search and Rescue Team.

The question posed: In a duel between Mantracker and "Unibomber" Ted Kaczynski, who would win? is a no-brainer: Ted Kaczynski would win. And why? It is because Kaczynski is a murdering psychopath. Who among us would win against such a man?

As for the knuckleheads here who are disrespecting Terry Grant: tell us how tough and smart you are and provide supporting evidence. Otherwise STFU.

Yes Kate. I did miss it.

I saw part of one episode and turned the channel.

Anytime I heard the word "reality" and TV in the same sentence? Guaranteed channel change.

Horses are smart. TV types? not so.

Michael Oros lasted mere hours against the RCMP and basically committed suicide when he shot Cst. Buday IN THE BACK. I remember the incident, Buday's brother was a teacher in our town at the time.

Er... who is Mantracker?

If I had to choose, I'd say Chuck Norris.

But clearly, Mantracker would win. Mantracker would cleverly use
the fact a that he's "not insane" to his advantage.

That being said, I still remain at large.

Deal with it, Mantracker.

Is "this a new SDA regular feature? I always wanted to see Dr. Laura go up against Yassar Arafat. Boxing, maybe.

Aside from the fact that the point of this post seems to be to point out how freeking long the FBI took to catch the lone loon......

I'm glad that Kate had the good sense to identify the loser Kosinsky as the U-N-I-Bomber.

The University bomber. Because of the obvious links to the Various schools and academics he was attacking.

It always irritated me that after a hiatus from the news headlines the idiots at CBS (I believe it was them that brought the story back to life) changed the by line for everything related to U-N-A-bomber.

Apparently because someone saw the FBI file that was Titled "University And Airline Bomber" ..
Not that any of the MSM EVER made that bit of information part of the reporting. They just latched onto the new catch phrase and the Story became know as Unabomber.

BTW - Mantracker is a well conceived show IMO - even though the contrived conditions make a mockery of what real human prey might do without any safeguards.

Two things stood out for me.

1 - The only time anyone ever threatened the hunters was when a pair of lesbian beatches were the prey. One of them pulled a sling shot and threatened the Mantracker's local guide with it.
Wonderful.

2- There was a recent episode where two Toronto Hipsters were the prey. One was a skater boy of late 20ish age who was pretty fit... actually self reliant and had some good sense and real grit.
The other was a mouthy - fat - tattooed douchebag who predictably got his partner caught. The guy was wheezing after going about 100 meters! Even after that he persisted in running his yap until the bitter end.

Oh yeah.... if I was going to suggest a match up ... I'd like to see .... Iggy Natchoff and Stephi Dion (where HAS he Gone?) paired up to outrun the Mantracker accross the Q'appelle valley with Kate as the local guide.

It amazes me that anyone actually believes that show is for real. Then again, some folks think wrestlers and poker players are real athletes.

Speaking of Ted Nugent, only city boys call deer meat "venison".

I watched part of a mantracker episode, and got the impression the horses were the stars of the show. It's not hard to outrun horses in the bush. They have trouble clearing deadfalls. That's why the contestants have to stay on the trail. Horses and cameramen need a clear path.

If the duel was in poker, Phil Laak would win.

The Unabomber hung out in a Montana cabin. A few years later, another guy who hung out in a Montana cabin shot up Congress or something like that. I wondered why there were never any calls for Montana cabin control.

"Er... who is Mantracker?"

Its Suzuki's new 4x4 for Canadian Human Rights Commission employees to hunt down flannel clad discriminators running loose in suburban Canada. It ships with 4 flat tires and and a radio that won't turn off.

rg - it's obvious that Chuck Norris would kill Kaczynski then hunt down the Mantracker and not kill him (most likely have a few beers with him).

I think what Kate meant ask was "In a duel between Mantracker and "Unibomber" Ted Kaczynski, who would win if Chuck Norris didn't kill Kaczynski then hunt down the Mantracker?"

Yeah the big crux with mantracker is that it can't be completely real. Ever take a second to wonder how its filmed, and the implications this has on the logistics and premise of it all? The allegedly hiding targets would be just as dependent on their camera crews to not give up their location as they are on themselves.
