George Welcome Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Please Pray For Capt. Tred Barta On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that's a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is Don't take a single second of your life for granted. Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 20, 2009 Super User Posted May 20, 2009 George, Never heard of this condition and our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Quote
Mattlures Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 oh man :-[ Tred is a stud, this news realy bums me out. I will pray for him I saw his show where he shot a mallard with a bow and arrows he made and the duck was flying. That is impresive Quote

Super User fishfordollars Posted May 20, 2009 Super User Posted May 20, 2009 Good lord, that's horrible news. Prayers out to him and all involved. Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted May 20, 2009 Super User Posted May 20, 2009 That is terrible. I wish him the best. I admire the way he likes to do things the hard way. I will never forget one of his episodes where he was hog hunting in Texas. Instead of using a gun or bow, he jumped on it and stabbed the hog to death. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted May 20, 2009 Super User Posted May 20, 2009 Wow. That is awful news. I always thought the guy was a little out there but anyone who has seen his show has to admit that he challenges himself to catch fish and kill game in ways that most people wouldn't even think possible. He is truly an amazing sportsman. I hope he recovers so that he can at least go fishing and hunting again, even if its not at the same level. Quote
tuxdaddy Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Prayers and best of wishes for Tred and his family !! Always liked his show.. He had some very educational points during just about every show... Quote
Super User islandbass Posted May 20, 2009 Super User Posted May 20, 2009 Prayers and thoughts for his family and him. I always enjoy watching his show. Quote
GonzoFishing Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Totally suks! I'll definitely pray for him and his family. Quote
detroit1 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Terrible news. I wish he and his family (and friends) the best. I don't hunt, so when a hunting show comes on, i change the channel. Not Tred though. He would make it so entertaining you couldn't turn away. We're all pulling for ya..... Quote
K.Russ Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Keep the faith Mr. Barta. Will be praying for you and your family. Quote

HAMMER23 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I once heard someone say yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery but today's a blessing. THINK ABOUT IT Quote
