I think Matt had it right. To enjoy watching Tred Barta, you pretty much have to take him with a sense of humor. He is pretty self-mocking/tongue-in-cheek, which some either don't get or don't like.

But I do, and so I like his show and the fact that he does things the hard way. Not necessarily the hardest way (like that kid in Russia who hunted bears with a spear...and no, he didn't throw it; he held onto it while he was stabbing the bear..nuts!), but hunting with a traditional bow is very difficult, no matter how you spin it. And that's what I like watching (and his sense of humor).

All of that said, I saw the episode where he was flinging arrows at spooked deer/carribou at 30+ yardss, and I didn't like that, either. And I imagine that he would be a pain in the butt firend to have, but an entertaining one, too. But I still like his show overall.

The guy is a wack job and cracks me up. The moose hunt was one of the best. The guide makes him drag the canoe. He shoots back and high on the moose and says it's a good shot and the guide says "You hit him a little far back and high." and Tred just looks at him dumbfounded. Classic.

I've seen TredBarta take down geese in flight with a long bow.In my opinion he is one of the best archers out there.

Last year I saw an episode where he and a "friend" went offshore fishing. Tred was an overbearing, know-it-all jerk the whole time. All I could do was sit there and think "who in the hell would be his friend if he treated everyone like that" . At the end of the episode, the friends defends Tred by saying "that's just the way he is". If any of my friends talked to me like that, they would probably need a new hunting buddy or at least a boot removed from their @ss.
I saw that very episode. It was the first time I ever saw Tred Barta on a show and is the reason I haven't watched himon one since. My God what an A-hole. I kept thinking that the other guys on that boat must not have one single functioning testicle between them or they would club this SOB in the head and heave him over the side for the fish to dispose of. If he spoke to me that way once, I'd knock a spark off his old @$$. When he woke up it would take an hour to convince him that he hadn't been struck by lightening. From what I hear he can't shoot worth a flip but just based on that one episode I wouldn't care if he could pick lint off a gnats @$$ at 50 yards with a slingshot. I'll never watch any showthat jerk is on again.
