I just heard of your setback. If any one can make a comeback it has to be you. Like you always say, when preparing for a fishing trip and gearing up for the adventure, "you gotta do the WORK"! I am sure you will do the work or whatever it takes to take this new challenge as far as you can. I just saw the Sailfish on 2lb test show. Great to see you back in the saddle again. I live in NC and if the possibility exist this year I'll try to make the NC tournament. So, good luck and as always "do the work"!

We have something in common in that also have had a spinal stroke. Very rare event indeed and not a good lottery to win. Mine was at the level of c6 to t1 leaving me with weak hands and partial paralysis below my nipple line. I cannot feel heat or cold or deep pain below this area. I also have a neurogenic bladder and bowel so I have to catherized every 4 hours to empty my bladder. Research revealed no known underlying cause and I was originally misdiagnosed by a local neurologist in Tucson.I am a veterinarian by trade and would love to practice again but would have a hard time doing so due to lack of hand strength and in ability to stand for long periods of time. I admire your courage in being able to get out and do what you do so well.I am currently a little over six months into this journey and know I have a huge hill to climb to get back. I am able to walk short distances with a cane. I hope to eventually get back to the profession I love so much and will try to use you as a roll model in doing so. Hopefully we both can beat the odds and the cards we have been dealt.Best,Ken McMillan Hi Tred

Foregive me if i've been missinformed. I have read many articles and have been searching many blogs trying to get an update of your condition to date. Some rumors have surfaced that you are not with us any more. That your disease has taken it's toll. Based on the above comments i hope thats not the case. I started hunting late in life by some standards, in my early 20's, i'm now 43 and have never taken the path of least resistance. All of my hunting/fishing experiences by my choice, have been hard unguided trips in many areas throughout this fine country we live in. I found the first time i saw your show, as someone who truly believes in fair chase and the size or length of any animal taken is most definetely not important as is the people you surround yourself with, the memories, adventures or the comaraderie.

I'm 39 now and just started hunting, but been an avid fisherman since old enough to cast. I also have a medical condition with my spinal cord, but its in my neck. What I've seen on your show has helped me out in the field unlike the other shows onl showing new tech ways. Since I'm on disability Living on less then 200.00 a month theres no way I can afford that stuff, saving for the permit is tough enough. Showing old school hunt stalks rock. Thats for you encourage showing the show must go on! Gene S Thank You for your Insperation! I’m 39 now and just started hunting, but been an avid fisherman since old enough to cast.

I love watching your show on Versus and didn't hear of your accident until a few months back. I came aware of it while watching your episode and saw you fishing during a blizzard in a wheel chair and watched as your feet were placed in buckets so you could get in the water. I was awe struck to find out what happened and then inspired and motivated to see that it hadn't stopped your drive to enjoy your life. You have personally motivated me to drive on what every the situation is in my life. I am an avid outdoorsman that loves to fish. I am kinda the same way. I fish my way. I listen to every one else on what to fish with but I do it my way and majority of the time I catch more than the rest. Watching your show has led me to believe at times don't follow the crowd and the outcome will better. I hope and pray for the best for you and your family and wish the best for you. Also that no matter what happens Tred drive on. Mr. Barta,

I highly enjoy your show because it is real hunting. It's not about harvesting game but it's about the experience. In PA you don't always kill your prey so you have to learn to enjoy the finer things. You're a great role model Tred and very entertaining. I’m in high school and hunt public land in PA.

Two years ago I took my first deer with a crossbow. I had been watching you on Versus for a while and decided that the crossbow was not for me so I dug out my 1958 Bear Grizzly and started to practice. I have not taken a deer for the last two years but not because I couldn't but because it didn't feel right. Your message " the Barta way" has meant a lot to me and I think you have hit pretty close to the mark on what hunting should feel like. I'll get my deer next year if it feels right. I still have time I am only 66. I thank you and God bless and heal you. Randy Tred, Four years ago I took up deer hunting on my wife’s family farm here in Ohio.

It looks like you have a terrific wife and support network.

I"ve been watching your shows for some time. i admire your moral ethics in hunting and fishing and am sometimes quite amazed at how some of your trips end up succesful. tonight the vs channel showed you fly fishing in colorado, in the middle of a snow blizzard and i was surprised to see you in a wheelchair. at first i thought it was too show people how anybody could cast a fly, no matter what the obsticle... however, as the show progressed, there was no mention as to why you were in the chair. i went online to find out the news... life can turn on a dime, my friend, with your spirit, heart, and gusto,,, giv"em hell... most importantly, GOD SPEED. with your recovery. tred,

It has been my DREAM to meet you and I even called Dan Harrison and left a message to try to get in contact with you. Just like you my wife saved my life. She is a physical therapist and has taught me how to live with my condition. I wish you the best of luck and HOPE to hear from you by any means possible.
