Saw the episode yesterday.  VERY cool!  That was an awesome shot!  A lot of courage right there to get to that point!  

Also, I'd never seen a bear fall out of a tree like a big squirrel.  That was neat too!

Here is a link to the story when Tred got his first black bear from his wheelchair.  This is awesome!

i was reading a little bit about Tred on-line.i hadnt realized what had really happened to him to become paralyzed.said he was on his way to a hunt when he had a spinal stroke which in turn caused his being paralyzed from the waist down.and to make matters worse for him,he found that he had a type of blood cancer.his chemo for the cancer slowed down his physical therapy for his stroke.He's sure overcome alot to get to where he is now.Tred also skii's once a week were he lives in Colorado.he uses a mono skii,which has one skii with a seat mounted over it,then he holds a pole in each hand with a skii mounted on each end to keep his balance.there's a spot on the back were somebody stands to ride along with him.he was a competitive skii'r when he was younger.He's now 57.He's also on record to have caught more Big eye tuna's with a rod and reel than any other person in the world.
Besides in the bow hunting world,this guys amazing.He's achieved so much in his life,and still keepin goin.thought maybe somebody would be interested in hearing alittle more about his accomplishments.

We don't have the privelage of Hunting shows on telivision in Australia and my first exposure to Tred Barta was when I bought a DVD of his on a whim as I'd heard about him. Nothing I'd heard / read was particularly positive. After watching the DVD I could see through the bravado into the soul of the man and realised that much of the opposition folks had of him was what us Aussies call the tall poppy syndrome - you just gotta cut em down.

So what if some say he comes across as opinionated/ loud - who cares - he believes in himself and that's a lot more than a lotta folks can do.

I'm thrilled to see the mans spirit on display and that he has risen to the occasion - speaks volumes of his character

If you asked Tred what his soul was made of I bet somewhere in the description would be the words "twisted blue steel".

I first heard about Tred on this forum and decided to check hime out (I don't normally watch hunting shows, since most are just info mercials).  I'll say I fell in love with his show and him.  That was before his recent termoils.  Now he's almost at idol status!!

His shows have been auto recording on the DVR for 2 years now.  My better looking half didn't think much of him or of me watching his shows.  But I kept on while I got hooked on this sport.  I met Mr. Barta this summer and spent some time with him [not as much as I would have liked], he signed my selfbow and we talked archery.  At that time I had to hold his sholders back against the chair so he could draw my bow 55lbs.  The smile that hit his face was worth the entire visit.

He is better in person and larger than life.

Yep and the gag clip at the end of the whitetail episode was funny! Here's the hunt portion.

Tred is an awesome guy with a great attitude. I took Tred out with my hounds for the show. I would gladly have him and his crew back again as each person had a great attitude. There may be a cougar and more bear hunts in the future. Tred is a real warrior with a kind heart. He gave my 10 yearold daughter an hour lesson on instinctive shooting. All she wanted was an autograph instead she got a memory that will last a lifetime.

I liked him before the stroke. I like him even  better now because he didn't crawl in a "sissy hole" as I heard him once say people do in life....Phil

I happened upon his latest show where he was hunting whitetails in Texas from a ground blind. He got a small buck after missing the same deer the day before. He is inspirational and his attitude is great. He may not be the greatest shot on earth, but he is determined, persistent, and with his current condition, he lives life to the fullest. Good on ya, Tred.

WoW......Tred really shows what bravery is. And his buddy Dan shows what a true friend is. We should all be blessed with friends like that....
