Winchester Deadly Passion

Join Melissa on a ten-day, tent-camp adventure to the Alaskan Peninsula; a harsh environment home to some of the world's largest predators. Melissa is hunting with Ryan McCue of Alaska Brown Bear Safari on the tundra in mid-October, where the elements can quickly become your worst nightmare.

On this hunt Melissa and some close friends score some highly coveted bull elk tags and hit their territory at the peak of the rut. The bulls come trotting and screaming at almost every call, as the morning silence is pierced with the music of dynamite elk country.

Melissa gets a call from Scott Kuhn of Deer Meadow Outfitters and is invited on an opening day rifle hunt for trophy mule deer hunt in the Nebraska Sandhills. Scott runs an amazing operation that consistently takes big muley bucks year after year.

Melissa hits some familiar Illinois territory in hopes of taking a mature buck with her shotgun, but sometimes, when a hunt doesn't quite go as planned, other opportunities crop up! Year after year, Illinois is the one state consistently produces big whitetails for Melissa.

With bow in hand, Melissa goes one on one with a monster, double-beamed whitetail that has eluded her several times. Hunting the east river of South Dakota, where non-residents are only allowed archery tags, Melissa meets up with Cody Warne of Warne Ranches.

Melissa goes down to the wire in Florida on her first Osceola turkey hunt, then gets a rare chance to spot and stalk some big springtime gators. Just outside of Vero Beach, the spring Osceola turkey hunting proves to be as difficult as Melissa expected, as she misses a close gobbler right out of the gate.

Melissa is off to Montana to meet up with CJ Gaskill of Powder River Outfitters where she's had incredible luck rattling in bruiser whitetail in seasons past.

It's the cream of the crop from season two of Winchesters Deadly Passion, as Melissa reminisces over another year filled with incredible adventures, close calls and major accomplishments.

One of the first questions people ask Mrs. Bachman is if she still gets to hunt with her daughter Melissa? Well that question is due to be answered on this Montana antelope bow hunt.

Who said this ugly fish isn't fun to chase and place in a smoker once you've landed a few in the boat? Carp on a stick, or by bow that is, is becoming the latest craze for hunters during the spring and summer. Hot fun in the summertime! Melissa travels to Oklahoma for a bow fishing trip with Tyler Tate and Steve Quisenberry of Born to Kill Bow fishing.

Melissa heads to Texas during a late-season rifle hunt and faces a difficult dilemma most hunters would kill to have: which buck to shoot! This December hunt offers Melissa a chance to use just about every angle available, from ground blinds along natural corridors to box blinds over food plots

Melissa takes some time at a Texas Hunting Expo to have fun with a young fan in the Hamster Ball.

Calling any animal can be a rush, but on this Newfoundland hunt, Melissa brings a moose into 18-yards!

After hunting hard in South Dakota Melissa, finally has a chance at a beautiful buck that decoyed in. All she can see are those enormous brows!!
