I cam relate to your troubles as I suffered a spinal cord infarct 6 months ago during the middle of a move. I was original misdiagnosed as Guillian Barre at the local hospital and was denied appropriate treatment by the neurologist. I was treated and diagnosed at Mayo clinic in Arizona and have spent nearly 5 months in physical rehab.My right side is stronger than left side. I cannot sense heat or cold below my nipple line and do not sense pain below that line. I can sense light touch however. I have a neurogenic bowel and bladder so I have to catheterize myself at 4 hour intervals with a condom cath for sleeping at night. I am always concerned about infection due to catheterization.Your story has been an inspiration to me as I try to work my way back to functionality as a veterinary surgeon. I have a mountain to climb in front of me and it is good to know that I'm not alone with my disease. I wish you luck and if you have any advice, please share.Ken Hi Tred,

I hope you get back to your old self soon. To see you hunting from your wheel chair was an inspiration to every one with a disability,I give you great credit for not giving up and not just laying down and giving up. In the last few years I have been hit with a bunch of set backs my self,I have had a hip replacement,the other one needs to come out two,I have spinal stenosis really bad ,fibromyalga,degenerate discs,arthritis in every joint,and bone spurs in just about every other joint ,but to see you not give up it gives me the courage to try and keep going. I would love to be able to hunt but I just can't walk that far in the woods to go hunting,or go fishing .I just don't have the financial means to do so.but I wish you the best of luck in your recovery.

I caught the episode of you in the wheelchair and riding your horse. My wife Debbie and I went to your site to find out what had happened. I am deeply sorry for your setback. I know you like doing things the "hard way, the Barta way," but seriously, this has to be the hardest Barta way yet!! You are an inspiration to all sportsmen and women, certainly to me. I know your not the kind of man that wants folks to feel sorry for you, so I'll keep you and your family in my prayers for your speedy recovery. I look forward to the day when I can sling some arrows with you from my vintage Bear recurve bow with wooden arrows tipped with hand-honed two bladed fixed broadheads, filed to a razors edge! Tred, Keep your eye focused on the spot, have a smooth release and follow thru! I will keep looking for your show and eagerly wait for your next adventure.V/r Ken Feiereisen North Pole, Alaska Tred,

I’ve been a fan of your show for a long time. I’m living in Virgina, born and raised in New York City. I fished all over Long Island for many years. I just want to share that with God all things are possible. I’m praying for you and believing that God will heal you.

Remember, that God is your strength!

I was in a bicycle accident 1983 leaving me a para T6 complete, life changes that fast. I've learned immediately how to adjust with what I had to work with. I've fished for marlin in Venezuela, tuna in Cabo, tarpon in Key West muskies in Canada. I still go scuba diving, owe my own boat drive it and fish out of it Lake Erie Lake Michigan and my favorite Lake of the Woods Ontario. I've fallen out of my boat off the toilet i've crawled through snow banks to get into my house in fact I could have 29 years of my own Best and Worst of Craig Miller stories. There are challenges everyday we must face. It's up to you stay strong. If anyone can adjust to changes it would be you.

For the past two nights, I’ve had the time of my life watching both discs, saying to myself, “I’d love to hunt with this guy!”. I live in central Wisconsin, don’t have cable, and had never seen your show. I also hunt the hard way ‘The Barta Way’ about half the time. I build and hunt Osage Native American bows with flemish twist strings, and homemade arrows with self noks and lashed on turkey feathers. A while back took a nice little 7 pt whitetail with it on the ground at 6 yards. What a thrill. I am visiting your website today for the first time. I have no words to describe my surprise. I wish you the very best in your recovery. You and your family will be in my prayers as well as in the prayers of my church family. Just from viewing that one video, I am so impressed with you, your determination, and character. You’re a potent voice for hunters and anglers everywhere. Keep up the good work and keep your spirits up. If anyone can beat this, I believe you are the one who can do it. Looking at these letters of support, I can see that you represent the best of all of us. All these letters represent just the tip of the iceberg of your supporters. I can see genuine love comes through in them. Of course, we’re all sportsmen. We ‘get it’. I like how you describe the outdoor experience. Maybe through your descriptions more people will ‘get it’. I will visit the website often to check on your progress. May God bless you and your family. Matt Michalicek, Wisconsin Rapids, Wi.Matt Michalicek on December 22nd, 2009 at 1:02 pm Dear Tred,

He went to the university of Pittsburgh Med center and they found it was a water borne virus. They treated him and he can walk again. Maybe it's not the same thing?
