TESTIMONIALS:
"Mantracking is entertaining and educational,
and surprisingly hard to put down. For the beginner
tracker it's a great learning tool and for those more
skilled it acts as a solid reminder. I would definitely
recommend it to outdoorsmen, trackers, SAR groups, law
enforcement, and the military as reliable reference
material." ~ Guy Kerr, 25 year veteran of the
Calgary Police, international SAR instructor and
contributing author of several SAR Manuals
"The
authors highlight the impact we have on our environment,
even when we're doing our best to have none... I
definitely learned a lot... I'm now tracking my
kids!" ~ Michael McKay, CEO Scouts Canada
"Mantracking makes me want to get in the bush
right now! ... I'm seeing things with a new set of eyes
and noticing more than ever before. Awesome book!"
~ Brian, Hunter/Outdoor Enthusiast

expert tracker Terry Grant & Nadine Robinson.
ABOUT THE AUTHORS:
Terry Grant
was the face of the hit television show Mantracker for
six seasons. Raised in Ontario, Terry headed west as
soon as he got his driver’s licence and worked as a
cowboy for legendary Alberta ranches like the Bar-U and
the OH for close to 25 years. While in Alberta, he honed
his animal tracking skills as a cowboy, hunter, guide,
and outfitter. Terry is a seasoned Search and Rescue
professional, having worked with the Foothills, Alberta
Search and Rescue Team for more than 12 years. His
reputation as a tracker impressed the British military,
which enlisted his expertise to help soldiers identify
hidden improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Calgary made
him a “white hatter” in 2011, and Terry continues to
volunteer at the Calgary Stampede annually. He lives
near High River, Alberta and when he’s not on the back
of his horse, Terry can be found in his shop working on
his custom carpentry, out on the golf course, or playing
with his border collies. In addition to this book, Terry
offers courses for those interested in the art of
tracking. See www.trackingwithterry.com.
