Tred Barta sent me this update about a black bear he harvested in Bella Coola, BC this year.

Way to go Tred! :thumbsup:
:clapper:
i am glad he is hunting again and it looks to be a very good bear that one.
Dang, that's some determination!
That is awesome! I have a very close friend that was paralyzed from a treestand fall...this hits close to home for me!
I can't wait to see the episode.

Awesome stuff Tred glad to see your fire still burning, My hats off to you.
Now that is the "barta way" that I can stand behind. Good to see you back in the game.

Way to go Tred!
I always enjoy his show and so glad to hear he is out there doing things "the hard way!"
Great to hear! Good work Tred. We never doubted you would be back hunting, pretty impressive to shoot a longbow from a chair, very strong work...
Tred is a lucky guy with friends and family that sticks by him. I forgot the name of his friend in the upper left hand corner of the picture. He is an outfitter that became very good friends with Tred. I would feel lucky to have a friend like him. He stuck by him in good and bad. I saw another Trad site where Tred was getting disparaged by some guys and he jumped right on it.
I can't wait for the new show.
Good luck Tred,.
Gil
Thats some courage right there ! :thumbsup:
That guy sure has some grit!!!! Glad to see him enjoying the outdoors. Go get em Tred

Great to hear!
"Tenacity" describes Tred for me... :thumbsup: . We could all take a lesson from his experience and apply it in our lives.
Thanks for the update Johnathan, it is great to see Tred back with the bow!
That my friends "is" HARD WAY!!!!! Good to see he ain't gave up!!! :notworthy: :notworthy:
Inspirational...makes you reprioritize when you see someone overcome so much...
We appreciate the update...
Great for Tred...!!!

Congrats Tred. You are an inspiration to us all. Keep it up. Ken
How very cool is this? Way!
I have got to admire a man who will overlook his limitations to do what he loves doing.
God bless,Mudd
Awesome, awesome, awesome! That is great!
Now that's cool, congrats Tred!
Way to go..what a inspiration..
Good on you Tred!
I don't believe the word "quit" is in Tred's vocabulary.
That's the super hard way.Real grit and determination.All men should strive to be this way.Thank's for the fine example Tred!!!!!!
I agree with 2 Barrels ! :thumbsup: to you Tred !!
Thanks for the update. I was wondering how Tred was doing. Way to go! :thumbsup: :notworthy:
Could have laid down and lived the rest of his life in obscurity. How wonderful it is when a man sees that God has left him much when another sees how only a thimble full.
Ted, Many thanks for your shared journeys and may God bless.
Glad to see he's still got that spirit!! Way to go Tred!!
Thats over the top hard way! I doubt Tred would have it any other way. Sure makes you feel silly when we complain about it being too wet or cold out.

Great to see Tred back at it!!! Tred inspired me before his paralysis and as the father of a disabled son he inspires me even more now.
God Bless You Tred!!!

That's the hard way.The Barta way.One word AWESOME.
I am not surprised. Tred is that kind of person.
Congratulations and best wishes for your future adventures.

Something good to see.
Way to go Tred!! :clapper: Truly inspirational.
:notworthy: :notworthy:
I haven't had cable for about a year and a half, so I never knew he hurt himself. I used to like his show and thought he had a great sense of humor. Glad to see he's not letting stuff keep him down.
Thanks for the post...Way to go Tred you are definitely the man!!! Doesn't get any harder to accomplish than that. :notworthy:
way to go tred.glad to see you hunting again.
Aren't true friends and God's Grace truly amazing. "He moves in mysterious was His wonders to perform." Blessings to you Tred Barta.
Got Balls that Clank.......In His Pockets!!

Way to go Tred!!! :clapper: :clapper: :clapper:
Thanks for the update. I hope Tred's condition continues to improve. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
"Love him, or hate him, livin fast and living hard, You're the maaaaaan, BARTA, you're the man!"
Glad to hear he is still huntin with the longbow and recovering. Love his show. I think that gives new meaning to "the hard way." :clapper: :clapper:
Good Job
Tred,
Your Positive Attitude and Never Give UP attitude is inspirering.Great news you are getting around,prayers do get answered !!!
Always loved your show! Strength , courage and determination! Awesome bear! :clapper:
Way to go :clapper:
Awesome. Can't wait to hear more. :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :clapper: :
That's very inspirational!
He is the man. Hate to find this out, but he is still the man. Having suffered a cervical spine fx myself, I know how lucky he is to just be where he is at. Sounds like his wasn't traumatic though. Glad to see he is still at it. Wouldn't expect anything less out of that guy!
What I'm also very inspired by are the people behind him. Their commitment to him and the sacrifices they make as a result are far bigger than many realize. You guys rock (especially his wife)!
So my heartfelt thanks to those helping Barta get back into the mix so we can all enjoy (or not) his shows and way of being.
God Bless You Tred... You are my Hero! :thumbsup: ... Great lookin' bear too.
... mike ...
way to go Tred :clapper:

Unstoppable spirit, ultra-deep faith, supportive friends, unquestioned ability! You're a remarkable man Mr. Barta!
Incredable unstopable spirit! Now that is someone to admire.
Tred Barta your the man!
