Captain Tred Barta - HUNTING: Prepare Hunt

[ADDfishing]

I'm the hypocrite of the day.

I said a prayer as I always do when hunting and apologized for not being responsible and respectful to the animals. Of course none of that changes what happened,
-D

You do that too huh??? I've never really talked about it, but I've apologized for wounding deer in the past and not being able to retreive them.

Hi TRED.......YEARS AGO, WHEN I FIRST SAW YOU ON TV...I SAID, WHO IS THIS COCKY BLOWHARD? MAN, YOU WERE OBNOXIOUS! I MUST ADMIT HOWEVER, THAT OVER THE YEARS i HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT YOU NEVER UTTERED ONE WORD THAT YOU COULD NOT BACK UP. I AM NOT THE HERO TYPE...NEVER HAD ONE...UNTIL NOW. AFTER GOD PUT YOU IN THE CHAIR...TRYING TO GET YOU TO SLOW DOWN AND YOU TOLD HIM; "NOT YET, GOD"! I HAVE TO ADMIT, THAT YOUR INDOMITABLE SPIRIT IS AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND MANY THOUSAND MORE, I AM SURE. i HAVE BOUGHT AND OLD $600 CAMPER AND BUILT MYSELF A LONG BOW AND I AM HEADING OFF FOR GODS COUNTRY TO ROAM WITH THE ELK AND WILD MUSHROOMS AND CAST MY LUCK TO BIG STEELHEAD FOR MY REMAINING GOLDEN YEARS. I WILL BE FLOATING DOWN THE BIG NORTHWEST RIVERS IN MY V-BOAT FLOAT TUBE, STOPPING ON SHALLOW SAND BARS TO THROW MY LEATHER CRAWDAD FLIES TO 20 TO 30 POUND STEELHEAD. IT IS THE BARTA WAY AND I WOULD BE HONORED TO TOW YOU ALONG WITH ME IN ANOTHER TUBE, IF YOU ARE UP FOR IT? SO WE COULD SHARE A FEW GREAT MEMORIES , WITH THE WIND IN YOUR FACE AND THE RIVERS FLOW AT YOU BACK. NO WORRIES, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TWO BIONIC KNEES. I HAVE GONE DOWN TWO ALASKAN RIVERS AT FLOOD STAGE, FOR OVER 50 MILES, IN MY V-BOATS AND CAN ZIP BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE RIVER LIKE THE ROADRUNNER. IT'S RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY! LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU ARE READY TO GO?.....SINCERELY, PEDRO SPEARSHAKER, THE WILDMAN OF THE HOH
