Best & Worst of Tred Barta?!?
 
Has anyone seen the ridiculous show "The Best & Worst of Tred Barta"?? I flipped it on the other night.... Just who IS this guy? [:'(] Seems waaaaaaaay too over the edge and too full of himself to be taken serious. Is it just my first opinion of the show, or is that the way he really is on the show? He just seemed like a crazy nut, that's all.... :eek:

I was watching that show yesterday...was the one you watchin the one he was goose hunting with a bow?


I agree with you though, there is just something about that guy i don't like...

That's the one!!! The guys were all in camo and using shotguns to get the geese. Tred Barta was using a long bow and acting like an crazed lunatic, IMHO. You could see it on the faces of the other hunters.... I mean, you could just sense one of the other hunters going, "Man, you got some serious issues!"

yeah the guy is completely full of himself imo. it seems like he thinks he's better than everyone else because he uses a longbow.

He's old school and not afraid to tell you. He's O.K IMO, not so much full of himself just fed up with the way things are today.His attitude may be found abbrasive to some but he never takes the easy way out and seems proud of that fact. You have to admire him for that.

I like him,

I think you need to see more of his shows to grasp what he is all about. He is not afraid to go out and fail as long as he gives it his all. He is very aware of his abilities and knows his limitations. He admits often that he is not the best shot and was not "gifted" with that ability. He says that he has to work hard to be able to shoot well. One thing he does not do is sugar coat anything, he tells it like it is. He is funny too if you ask me.

He is a very intense person who likes to hunt the "hard way" nothing wrong with that just different.

I never even heard of him of until i watched the show yesterday. THere is just something about him i don't like. As how he hunted with a longbow i don't have an opinion on that.

i agree with BigJ12. i like him and i do think you need to see more of his shows to understand him. on some of his shows he has his kid along with him fishin and he yells at his kid to do stuff and he says the only reason he does that is to be succesful but he loves his kid very much.So basically...work hard....be succesful. i think his shows are kinda bizar(sp?) and the things he does is dif. but all in all i think its pretty cool how he does stuff.

I think he is a jacka$$. I find myself watching the whole show though just to see if some one knocks him upside his fat head. The guy needs to get a grip on something besides his chicken!

RE: Best & Worst of Tred Barta?!?
 
I've watched a few of his shows and I'm still making up my mind. My first impression is that he is a jacka$$. But while my first impressions are usually right, I will give the guy the benefit of the doubt for now.

Love the guy , him and the Nuge , their both crazy , and love'n life . No compromise pepole who arnt afraid to tell you what they think , I dont agree with them all the time , but at least they are not limp wristed guys who are afraid to voice their oppinion .

I would rather watch his show then Elk Country Journal or the Benellis show on OLN, there both terrible. But I'm not a big fan of fishing shows and I like to watch shows that hunt for trophy animals, so Treds show gets old pretty quick.

Love him, dont know why, maybe its the bow, maby the aditude. He knows that he is not that likeable and he says it in his them song.

I know a guy like Barta. He is an ******* and as long as you realize that up-front, and look at what he’s saying as opposed to how he’s saying it, he’s alright. I used to get upset about people like Barta and Nugent because they make all hunters look like crazed maniacs, but I have since realized that no matter how you present yourself the anti-hunting tree hugging community are always going to look down on us. Barta is on OLN for one reason, he gives you 30 minutes of entertainment like him or not. Someone like Pamela Anderson is way on the other end of the spectrum but she just gets alot more press and is alot better to look at.

My bos is like Barta. Can't stand either one of them. Something about super arrogant people that act like they always have something to prove and want everyone to know about it. Makes me want to crack a bat over his head.

Worst "hunting"[&:] show on television.

I wrote the network a few months ago about this show telling them I surely hoped they could find someone better then Barta to represent us hunters. Cause he was at the bottom of the barrel.

As far as Nugent goes he is far and away a better representation of us hunters then Barta will ever be. Nugent is crazy and in his own little world but is still a very friendly person and does a lot for the hunting and gun community. Barta is just an arrogant A$$ HOLE that happend to have enough money to spend on hunting and fishing theat a TV network noticed him..

He's ok in my book! I like his show! My 9 year old son likes him as well!

I kinda like the show... Pretty funny

I'd prefer to watch Byron Ferguson's show - the one that got cancelled after a way too short run - but, in my book, Barta's no worse than any other TV hunter. At least he's not peddling all that stuff that's 'guaranteed to make you a better bowhunter.' I'm so sick of that baloney I can't hardly watch outdoor shows any more.

When he beats a fish on the head and then asks if you want reality TV, he creates a poor image for true sportsman. Big deal, he can eat corn flakes with his hands and not in a bowl(don't know if you saw that one).
I like huntin' them the hard way too. I shoot a longbow too, but I don't act like a moran and create a bad image of sportsman, fisherman, hunters or otherwise.

I feel like Ted Nugent is a better representative of the hunting community because of his service with the NRA, his youth camps, and while he rambles some, I think his heart is in the right place. He doesn't come off as arrogant like Barta does.

He and Ted Nugent should do a show together. Someone would get hurt.[:-]

All ive seen are his advertisments. Even in the his advertisments he annoys me. I guess a couple of lueds, and a fith might make him more tolerable. :D:D That would be either for him or me.:D

Not that, we already have a global warming problem. We dont need those to head to head spewing hot air.:D

LOL @ Burnie's comments.... :D[8D]

I would say Ted Nugent is more of a rep than Tred Barta. Like others have said, there is just something weird about him. There is just something that I don't like about him and his show... [:'(]

Ya know what's weird is that I have never heard non-hunters bash Ted, only hunters!
