Tred Barta

[Mudranger1]

wow just read that he was paralyzed from the chest down...a little behind the times I guess. reminded me a lot of my Dad...loved him but couldn't stand him at the same time...I enjoyed his hunting shows quite a bit and you could always tells his guides were aggrivated with him..lol...sad news to hear

 

[xrayts]

He still hunts and films shows. He still rants and everything. He's a very inspirational story.

When he started asking for money from his fans, I wrote him off

You should see where he lives.

 

[Dinkshooter]

And I know he has a horrible thing going on all, but holy crap you should have listened to him rant and rave during the Hidden Gems wilderness proposal meetings. Good grief.

I'm assuming it's not "in a van down by the river"?

Precisely, not that I'd ever want to go through what he has with being paralyzed, but I felt the same way as you did.

 

[Mudranger1]

what was he asking for money for?

 

[JohnCushman]

help with his medical bills

 

[Mudranger1]

sell that boat he rides out on make some money off that thing

help with his medical bills

So much for doing it the hard way, the Barta way...

 

[xrayts]

help with his medical bills

I didn't know he had done that.

 

[nidahunter]

Maybe if he quit going on all of those guided hunts...........

I've also seen on his TV show where he's asked people to send money to his 'foundation'

That's awesome. Agreed. Sell the multi-million dollar ranch, his 3 brand new F-350's (handicap equipped), and get back to reality. He can then afford his bills, and the great hunting community, I am sure will keep him in the hunt. :W:

 

[JohnCushman]

I posted a link about the 'foundation' his wife set up for him, but I'm waiting for it to be cleared and posted

 

[JohnCushman]

post number 14 has the 'foundation' link....I still think if he sold his trucks and boat and house and stopped going on all these expensive guided hunts, he wouldn't need a 'foundation' to help with his medical bills. It just makes me feel even more strongly about him being a db

 

[wyoming556]

John,
Ditto on the db part. I watched the show where he let one of his buddies do the elk hunt becasue he was hurt and just could not stand to watch him.

Sounds like he needs an ATV.

Sounds like he needs a Ego-Lobotomy. John
