Tred Barta

[Kyote]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On his way to Alaska to tape his TV show, Tred Barta suffered a rare occurrence called a spinal stroke affecting his T2-T10 vertebrae. Since there are only 12 of these Thoracic bones, that’s a very large area. He is currently paralyzed from just below the chest down. Prognosis is way up in the air at the moment. Some medicos predict permanent paralysis while others have given him up to a 60-percent chance of at least partial recovery. His message to everyone is… “Don’t take a single second of your life for granted.”


I really enjoyed his shows great bow hunter.

I haven't watched him, but I do have sympathy for anyone going through health problems. We wish him good luck on his recovery.

Wow- sorry to hear that. I didn't know he was still making new shows- I just keep watching the oldies. If anyone can help themselves get through this, it's Tred "doing it the Barta way".

[Richtee]

Never heard of him... but wow...never heard of a "spinal stroke" either. Blood supply blockage to the spine I presume. I'll Google it.

Had to look him up too.
Then I saw the dudes face and I knew who he was.

Prayers to him.

I'll go with the 60% doctors.

I hope Tred pulls through. He is the only one I know with a show that he doesn't kill something everytime.

That's too bad. Hope he pulls through. Like his show's when he goes goose and pheasant hunting with a long bow.
