Melissa Bachman Wiki: Early Life, Family, and Education
Melissa is the daughter of the hunters Dale and Karen Bachman; she was often taken with them on their hunting trips, starting at the age of five. However, it took seven years to develop early hunting skills to start hunting on her own. She would do push-ups to build-up her upper body strength in order to use an 18kg bow. Despite hunting, Melissa was still focused on school, and as she hunted in the morning, she would attend high school classes from 10 a.m. for which her parents had to sign a work permit. She went to Paynesville Area High School, and was a part of the pole vault team, ultimately setting several records.
In addition she had other engagements, such as being the student representative to the Chamber of Commerce board, then she played saxophone, and was also the winner of the Girl Scouts Gold Award, thanks to her initiative in organizing an interaction between younger and elderly Girl Scouts. After finishing high school, Melissa enrolled at St. Cloud State University, from which she graduated with a double major in Spanish and Broadcast Journalism.
Career Beginnings
Following her graduation, Melissa started looking for a place for herself in the big corporate world, but failed to get a response from 76 companies. She eventually became an intern at North American Hunter Television, a part of the much bigger media group, North American Media Group in Minnetonka. She drove over 240km or 150 miles to and fro, and was unpaid, that is how much dedicated she was. Well, her hard work was rewarded four months later, when she was hired as a full-time producer for the show. She would later start appearing on the show, mostly as someone who would give advice on archery, but has also started airing her own recorded hunts, including a bow hunt of a 202 inch Illinois White-tailed deer.
With enough experience, Melissa decided to leave NAMG in 2010 and start her own production company, Deadly Passion Productions. She started working for other shows, such as “Dangerous Game”, but it was two years later that Melissa received a career-changing offer when she returned to NAMG, but this time in her own show, “The Winchester Deadly Passion”, which premiered in July 2012 on the Pursuit Channel.
Rise to Prominence
Career Controversies
Throughout her career, Melissa has faced a number of controversies including after she posted a picture on the social media network Twitter, of her and a dead lion next to her following a hunt in South Africa. Many people criticized her, including Ricky Gervais, which ultimately led to a death threat towards Melissa. She disabled all social media accounts for a while, and didn’t respond to critics and death threats, saying that it is in her best interest not to say anything about it and stand behind her actions. Moreover, back in 2012, Melissa was pulled out from the National Geographic Channel show “Ultimate Survival Alaska”, after more than 13,000 signatures were collected in less than 24 hours against her participation. That time, she was criticized by Tim Martell who is opposed to trophy hunting.
