I remember only one Tred Barta show; actually it's the only one I ever watched. It was the one where he was flinging arrows a woodland caribou, missing and all the while gushing about what a privilege it was to be there. I thought that since it was on TV, he would eventually get something; he didn't.

I don't have cable/satellite at home so I can't keep up. Is Tred Barta the guy that stabs pigs after letting some pitbulls maul them for awhile? If so I vote for him but I don't know who the other two are so I'm biased.

This poll is flawed.

I want to vote for all of the above.

I went with potts. he's a bit too crazy for me. I actually enjoy some of Barta's antics. at least he's not afraid to show the times when things don't go right. and he's not just about the horn size. And as far as the stabbing pigs, if you look at the Hog hunting forum, it's a big business, and I'd do it in a heartbeat! looks like fun!

I obviously didn't know any of them, but I made a search on Youtube and I found a 4 minute footage of Stan Potts; well, he is quite annoying, especially the way he acts after having shot his buck and when he recovers it. He is pompous and melodramatic indeed! Big Grin

Barta, just for wearing camouflage face paint while pulling crab pots in Alaska.

It looks like Tred Barta is running away with it.

I don't know guys Bata's a hoot. He does a lot of tounge in cheek. The guy hunts with a long bow and arrows that he made himself which is more than most of these other jokers do hunting from blinds over their food plots, or on some ones expensive private ranch.

We all have different opinions but Barta at least walks the walk! Just my $.02.

Should we come up with an award and send it to the winner? I voted Barta.

The real problem with Barta with that long bow he flings those arrows all over the place with no concern with what he might hit when he misses his target. The worse example was when he was trying to hunt ducks with that damn long bow of his. He also seems to have that attitude that if you do not hunt the "Barta Way" you are just not a hunter.


Good Hunting,

Hi David,

I see your point, but I think that whole "Barta Way" is tounge in cheek. I don't take it seriously.


Just my $.02

Well, I voted for Barta. I've seen Bushman as well, but I'd never seen Potts before. Is that jackass queer?
Those three and others is why I don't watch those hunting shows anymore. A total waste of what little time I have left on this planet.

Hey Bear, I've been meaning to ask you for quite a while:

Are you the same "Bear in Fairbanks" that was a member of the Compuserve Outdoors Forum that Joe Reynolds and I ran years ago?? -TONY
