I just found out about Tred passing away yesterday. Reports have it he had a vehicle accident while driving. Everyone has his opinions on him, but I did enjoy his show (although he did have a bit of an ego about himself).

Edit. It’s been years since I’ve watched hunting shows. Our cable company did away with the Outdoor Channel, but they still offer us a bunch load of crap. He still enjoyed life and the outdoors even after the illness. I happened to stumble across his passing on social media. I really couldn’t find a good internet link, but the vehicle accident occurred this past Sunday.

I liked and missed his show. I was disheartened, no more than he of course, at his spinal stroke. The last tume I saw his program he was in a wheel chair.

I was thinking about him just the other day in that I hadn't heard anything about him in a while. Shame about the spinal stroke but at least on camera, he seemed to take it about as good as anyone could imagine and was going to do everything he could to not get in the way of living to the fullest.

Sorry to hear of his passing.

I actually thought he was already dead.

The man was a character, but what passion he had! RIP, mister.

Sorry to hear that.

He was kind of a character but he was entertaining and once he got his mind on something he stuck with it.

RIP Tred.

PS: Tred didn't hunt with a recurve, he used a longbow.

It didn't seem to slow him down a whole lot.

I sent his story to another crippled guy in OZ about the tracked wheel chair. Last I heard he was trying to get one too.

From all impressions, Ted Barta was a man who took the rag of life rung and wretched it dry with both hands. I hope someone will and can say the same for me.

Excellent worldclass fisherman.

His hunting was a little gimmicky.

Later stage of his life sucked personally and physically. He seemed to take a bad hand in life in stride.

I used to watch his show decade plus back. Don’t watch much outdoor or any tv nowadays.

Barta was a legend in canyon and offshore fishing in the north east.

I hope his family has peace after all he went through.

RIP my friend now you can hunt and fish all you want without your chair. Enjoyed his show.

Sorry to hear.

Sorry to hear that. Enjoyed his writing in Sport Fishing many years ago.

Oh boy, nothing lasts forever so good lesson for all of us...do what you love as much as you can as none of us is getting out of this alive
RIP Tred and keep that fire going for us, we all will be there one day
