Best and worst of tred Barta
 
Im watching it right now (DVR).

I don't care whether you like the guy or not...how can anyone argue with his "opinions". When you get right down to it... (his approach) ......he's .....well.....he's right. He DOES do it the "hard way"

He may do it the hard way, but I still think he's a retard.

I think I am one of the few to actually like tred. Yes he is cocky but I like how he does things the hard way. I think I have been watching to much tred lately as I am gonna try to shoot a deer with a recurve and wooden arrows. A grizzly at 8 yards with homemade arrows and broadheads is awesome!

Die Hard

25 Days!

I really like Tred a lot, its the one show I make it a point to watch on Versus.
He's a whack job but alot of it is tongue in cheek and he pokes a lot of humor at himself. He's really entertaining if you watch him with that mindset. You cna't watch him thinking everything he says and does is deadpan serious or you'll hate him.

His show is good stuff. I do agree that wingshooting geese with a longbow is "Doing it the Hard way" That can't be argued. :D

Taking 40 plusyards shots at running animals with traditional equipment is hard,stupid too.


Actually saw him do this on one of his shows

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
Ted's a retard (in my opinion). Ditto most of the ass clowns I see on the hunting shows.

Got nothing to do with wheter or not he's "right" or not. He's right. He does it the hard way.

He just had 34 unsuccessful mule deer stalks......and one wounded (but unrecovered) doe. Before anyone judges that....... let's hear who's completed this hunt, successfully.

Check that....... ONE successful. He just scored.

I just started shooting a longbow. I don't care who ya are......thats a pretty awesome hunt.

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
I've said it before and I'll say it again, he may be a tard, butI would rather hunt with him than any other celebrity hunter. He is for real and speaks from his heart, not his ass. He could care less about being politicaly correct, he cares about being right!And as funny as he is, I bet he has forgotten more than a lot have learned. You don't kill that many trophys without being a very skilled hunter, unless this is going to turn into a location thread!!!:):):)

I think Mr. Longbeard is Tred Barta in disguise.:D:D

I happen to like the show. If you take it for what it's worth, he does things his way, the HARD way, and its pretty entertaining.

I never said he didn't.He has done alot of things that are considered unethical today.


I usually don't pass judgement on ethics because that is for each individuall to decide for himself.


But when you fling arrows at something you just jumped up at over 40 yards and video it for the world to see.

It would be one thing if he was half as good a shot as Fred Bear was but with his weapon of choice but he isn't,atleast from what I have seen he isn't.


Before you ask,I have used wooden arrows and recurves before.I choose not to hunt with them though.

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
Yea, he is a total @ss. But what a shot !! I watched him shoot that goose with his longbow a couple of days ago. WOW !!

Last year I saw an episode where he and a "friend" went offshore fishing. Tred was an overbearing, no-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.

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
I've only seen one of His Shows in my life. My first impression of his show left me wishing I had changed the channel earlier!
It was the show when he was Sea Duck hunting with the Retriever....the
dog had so much trouble getting back to the boat in the currenthe had to go after it.
Itis an opinion that was formed after only one viewing but sometimes thats all it takes to see what you personally dont care for and wont spend valuable time to repeat!
If it was a Reality show type of thing he was trying to achieve I think he did that. Reality being he's agood example that someone with a TV show can be a bad example.

Do you have any idea of Tred's fishing background? Google it. I haven't done so (because I know his fishing background).....but if I was going to I'd try "Tred Barta + Tuna Fishing";)

No huge Barta fan......but I'd also like to see an episode where someone tried to stick their foot up his ass.;)

I think KTFO would come into play for the kicker.

How many bears have you killed with a long bow and wooden arrows, arrows that you made yourself?!!!!:eek: The dude is a stud. He could hide all of his screw ups, by editing his film, but he doesn't! He doesn't care what anyone thinks!He peed in his waders to kill waterfowl!!! If he sold out, and used modern equipment, his kills would go up even more. I love the guy!!!:)

Only since the age of 6, own 7 longbows and recurves and been shooting them for 46 years, Butthis isall about Tred not me, Tred says so!

If you don't understand.....it isn't because you don't know.

You just don't like the guy.

Tree vs. ground

no trail cams vs. trail cams

Scent killers vs. natural scent control

Baiting, minerals, drips, artificial scents, food plots, etc..... vs, natural


Oh hell.....you know. I'm not going to waste my time.

tred barta is a tard with lots of money.... The only reason everyone knows his name is because he has the money to start his own show. Dude loves to hear himself talk.

Rammer 08-21-2007 09:46 PM

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
I do believe I heard him say that 20 yards is his maximum effective shooting distance, then in that same episode he was flinging arrows past 40 yards. I can't remember if it was a Caribou or muley hunt, either way I think the guy is a tard that is stuck on himself.

Colorado Luckydog 08-21-2007 09:46 PM

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
I should add, he might not be for everyone, and I understand that. If he does not reach your ethical standards, don't watch. If hunting with a long bow and wooden arrows is not modern or effective enough, don't watch. If you can't see his humor, that he clearlydoes tohimself, don't watch. Remotes are so cheap and inexpensive, invest! Personally, I love the guy!!!! I hope I can take a bear like he did with my compound, because I will never have the time to get good enough to make my own arrows!:)

The dude is wide open ,that is all you can say about him, yea he does some crazy stuff in my book, but that is my book and I'm the only one that reads it. bottom line he is very interesting to watch ;like him or not.

GMMAT 08-21-2007 09:49 PM

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
Regardless of whether hes an ass or not......

Does he do it the hard way? I don't particularly like the guy. Don't want to go hunting with him. Don't care to meet him.

It's like saying Cindy Crawford's good in bed......but she's a bitch.

Im going Fly Fishing tomorow and will piss in my weaders just for you luckydog.
Only one Bear with trad equipment and hand made arrows, and it didn't cost me 10,000.00 For a guide to pack me around in a boat big as my house till I seen one eating on the bank!
I dont think his kills would go up that much, he's a string plucker, and probably the reason he shoots a long bow, some people need an excuse to shoot poorly!

Yes, and spot me the money and I will add 70 more.

RE: Best and worst of tred Barta
 
So you don't do it the hard way?

Jesus.....you want to hate the guy so bad.....go ahead. I was pointing out his methods are hard to argue with. I could actually care less how you feel about the man.

Compared to 99% of all HUNTERS......he does it in a manner that MOST would agree is "harder" than the "norm"

I dont care if he beats his kids.....kicks his dog....and slaps nuns. He hunts the hard way.

I can't beleive you guys are getting so stressed about a celeb! Really cracks me up! I'm sure money would make you the most effective killing machine that walks the earth!!!

Said his max was 15 yards, and it was Mule Deer.

He killed 3 on that show no one seen, He gave them Pnumonia from his arrows zinging by their heads!

Didn't say the man couldn't fish, his record speaks for itself. But let him go ona trip with me and I'd be damned if he talked me down like a child. What gives you the impression that Tred could keep his ass from getting stomped into a mudhole by a redneck?I seem to remember a little boar whipping his ass in Texas during one of last years episodes. And before you start going off asking" How would you doagainst a boar?". Let me assure you, I have earned my status as a wild boar hunter and have plenty of evidence to back that up. Feel free to look at any of the trophy hogs I have taken with a knife at Bostick Plantation, Estill SC, or Chappy's Outfitters in Lake Okechobee, FL. Take away his longbow and rifle/handgun, and all he has is his ego.

I expect others to treat me as I treat them. Tred would get his feelings hurt if he lived by that creed.

Cool.

Celebrity death match probably would love this.

He's a pretty solid dude with a workout routine that separates the kickers from the kickees. Never siad he'd kick your ass......just reminds me of an Andy Griffith episode where Barney was gonna take Ernest T. Bass out back and work him over.

We went from whether or not Tred hunts the hard way to having to justify his crass attitude pretty quickly, though. It's really irrelevant....his attitude.

Aint it funny how you can start a thread about how the guy hunts nothin more and everbody shapes and molds it to his attitude in which you cleary stated you could care less about, you were just stating the fact about the way he hunts. goes back to my light bulb thread....or is it lightbulb?
