Tred Barta’s Continued Stroke Recovery
DENVER — Tred Barta is just learning to use a wheelchair. But he’s still pretty good with a long bow, and looking forward to his first horseback ride since a spinal stroke last month cost him the use of his legs.
After a stay at Denver Health Medical Center, Barta’s now working — and working hard — at Craig Rehabilitation Hospital in Denver. The product of that work could keep him on TV. More important, he expects the work he’s doing now to let him hunt, fish and explore the backcountry again…..

I was very relieved to see your two shows (Sail fish, and Trout fishing) that have aired since your malady. Your fly fishing in the snow and heavy rain was nuts! I salute your tenacity, courage, and spunk! Your early shows is what got me back into archery (with a long bow) and now hunting.

Or maybe you could just accompany Dan sometimes and let him hunt with… Read more »
