R.I.P. Tred Barta
« on: August 12, 2019, 04:53:28 PM »
The guy had an ego the size of Texas and the drive & determination to go with it.  After all the crap that he went through after his spinal stroke, to be killed in a car crash in Canada is not the way he should have gone. I met him once and he was super cool and intense.  Sad.

RIP all I can say for didn't know the guy but yeah RIP.
"When my bow falls, so shall the world. When me heart ceases to pump blood to my body, it will all come crashing down. As a hunter, we are bound by duty, nay, bound by our very soul to this world. When a hunter dies we feel it, we sense it, and the world trembles with sorrow. When I die, so shall the world, from the shock of loosing such a great part of ones soul." Ezekiel, Okeanos Hunter

I always thought he was kind of a PITA, however this article about him is downright funny:

I loved his shows. Entertaining and he often ended up without harvesting something, so unlike most of the fake hunting shows.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Loved watching his shows.  Especially with the big guy Dan who was a pretty good guide.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
