« on: December 19, 2009, 02:16:00 PM »
Did anyone see that show last night on Versus? I'm  glad to see he is home . It looks like he still has a tough journey ahead of him.I did'nt always agree with some his practices but I hope he comes thru this and wish him the best...>>>--->     :pray:

What happened to him?? I have been out of touch lately. I wish him the best though. He is still trad despite the controversy that seems to surround him. Later.

I did.  Very unfortunate!   But it seems nothing is going to get the best of old Tred.  He's going to keep going no matter what.  He is a courageous individual and very optomistic.  We can learn from his mis-fortune, by taking a negetive and turning it into a positive, and hope we can walk away has high spirited as he seems to be. I wish him the best!  mr.c  :notworthy:

He suffered a spinal stroke in late spring/early summer.  I believe that his type of stroke was extremely rare and left him paralized from the waist down.  I didn't get to see the show, but I heard he was shooting his bow and casting a line just days after the stroke.  I know some of you don't like his style, and I don't like some things he does either, but he does represent a lot of the things that we stand for so I wish him the best in his recovery.

It was pretty sobering.  I'm glad he has fight left in him.  Life can be a heckuva journey.  God bless'm and I hope he keeps the fight in his eyes.

Tred had a spinal stroke, He is wheelchair bound with no use of his legs. His spirits seem to be up but it has to be a very difficult time for him.

Google the on-line interviews with another bow and arrow site.  It was more than a stroke- it seems he had a rare cancer that caused it all.  He is now paralyzed from the waist/chest down I believe.

You know that Tred will find a way to get within bowshot, wheelchair and all. God Bless him, he has the courage to get there.

Yeah they're saying it is a very treatable form of cancer called Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia. The doctors also think the paralysis can be reversed to around 60 percent of what it is now. I know Tred will pull through!

That show is a must-see.  Vs. will undoubtedly rerun it.  Don't care what people think about him - he's a good guy.

i saw it.  many people bash him and his show, but i like both.

it is very touching to see/hear that he is not gonna quit eventhough he basically has 1/3of his body to work with.
he is the start of the reason i got into trad. 2 years ago to date.

He was getting ready for a trip to Alaska. He didnt feel right so he went on a little hike on his prop. While he was doing that the stroke happened. This is the story I heard a while back. I know it happened in August there was a story on outdoorlife.com about it. They know a lot more than I do about it. Didnt see the show but love his shows.

My heart goes out to him for being so strong. I like the guy and he's show. He's the real deal. God bless him and his family. Looking forward to see him hunt again. I'm glad they put that on the air. Very humbling..Each day is a gift. Just like the animals we hunt. Tred if you get to read this post. Keep going I love what you do..

I saw the show on versus last night too. I didn't know about his stroke until last night. I admire him more than ever for his courage and determination to get through this. What a great guy!!

I have always liked his programs on versus. They are very good and interesting with a few good laughs. He truley does things his own way.

Tred, you hang in there. You have what it takes. We're all pulling for you.  Jim.

I hated his shows at first, but those were fishing...his hunting shows are great and now I really like him. I still am not a fishing show fan of his, but hunting for sure. "Spot and spook" is a funny nick-name.
