Terry Grant The star of the first six seasons of Mantracker showcased his gift to millions, bringing the spotlight to bear on the almost-lost art of tracking, and launching the show into the stratosphere as one of the most highly rated reality shows on television. Fuelled by necessity, his renowned skill was honed by trailing and gathering cattle on some of the most remote ranches in southern Alberta, complimenting his many years as a guide and outfitter in the unforgiving Rocky Mountains. His ability to read sign became a keen interest and he constantly studied in the wilderness, developing and refining his skill to a now legendary level. Whether in the saddle or on the stage, Grant’s reputation is on the line and as he says, “I can’t afford to let up for a second, and I won’t.” Carolyn Kosheluk Carolyn Kosheluk is an avid angler, on pro staff with Alumacraft Boats, Guertin Equipment and Rapala, and was named national pro staff of the Year by Rapala in 2014.
