How is the show Mantracker filmed?

Anyone else ever wonder this, wouldn't the cameraman give away the preys position sometimes. I think that the show is staged.
Yeah its a fake show. I just laugh at these "prey" guys who are dancing around in socks or whatever trying to cover their tracks. Cuz there is a camera crew 10 feet away who are stomping around right behind them. And then the big bad "Mantracker" rides in and says "Hmm, I can deduct from my grizzled outdoor experience that they went that way." Yeah, buddy, what gave it away? Could it be the nike logos from the sound guy's shoes? Or was it the power bar wrappers thrown down by camera man #3?

Either its completely scripted or they actually have a real competition and just re-enact it later. Either way its really stupid. If they wanted to make it real, the contestants and the mantracker would have to film themselves. But something tells me the "Mantracker" probably can't even set the alarm on his clock radio, let alone use expensive cameras.
Ya man. Some how they just happen to be filming the prey's foot as he leaves the exact print that the mantracker finds. what? do they have an army of "foot filmers"? the whole thing has to be scripted, even if they realy go running around first to get the script.

Unlike every other person here I have actually looked it up and asked questions. There are multiple camera crews spread around the entire site of the chase. So mantracker sees multiple camera crews all the time and doesn't know if the "prey" are there or not.

None of you know what you're talking about. The filming goes on for 4 days, while the event is 2. 1st day: key scene shots. 2nd+3rd: actual event with preycams and cameramen situated on the course mainly to tape mantracker. 4th day they recreate key events with cameramen right beside prey.
