Truly tragic news. But my impression of Tred tells me that he will continue to "do it the hard way, the Barta way"

Lets hope the man is inspired rather than defeated.

Best wishes, TRED.

that's in the zone of cruel fate like Beethoven going deaf.

Let's pray to God he can recover, can't wish that on anybody!

I personally like Tred Barta's shows and this is pretty sad for me to hear news like this.

X2 on that being a fate far worse than death. Hope the outcome is better than what it looks like right now.

Sorry to hear that, he was boisterous but entertaining, and genuine in his passion for what he did.
The good news is he still has use of his arms and shoulders so he won't be just sitting by a stream. Thumbs up to Tred.

That is sad to hear. I wathced his show as often as I could. There was no BS on his show. He'd have good hunts and not so good hunts at times. Just they way it really is. Not always getting the animal that your going for. Hang in there Tred.

Sad news, I really enjoy his show, he makes his views known and you like it or leave it, but he sticks to his beliefs.

Prayers and best wishes are sent his way

Our prayers are with you Tred.

I am truly sorry to hear that news. Scary how fast life can change. Hope he rebounds from this incident of life. I'd like to fish him on the White River or hunt with him anywhere. I love his shows. He reminds me of me. Not afraid to do it the hard way. The rewards truly are greater when you catch that trophy fish on a fly you tied or an animal falls to a homemade bow and arrow. Gotta love that. My familys prayers are with you Tred.

this is terrible, i love his show. i hope everything works out and he can get back onto the water and into the woods. best wished tred.

The man is full of passion for the outdoors. He is in my prayers.

I remember seeing an episode of Ted where he was taking a son and father out fishing and would not allow the son to fish until he got the "terms of the boat" right. Seemed like it took over 2 hours and you could tell by the expression on the boys face. Regardless, he is a great guy, and through his shows, many could see his passion for the great outdoors which was nothing less than amazing and inspiring.

thats to bad. i dont know what i would do if i couldnt walk, hopefully he will do ok though

Our prayers are with you Tred.

Thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family.

I have never heard of a Spinal Stroke. Sad. I do hope the outspoken but entertaining outdoorsman will be back doing what he loves in no time. Get well Tred.
