From a very early age Melissa Bachman was introduced to the hunting lifestyle. It was not uncommon to find Melissa in a hunting stand or a goose blind before school when she was a teenager and it wasn't long after that when Melissa knew that she wanted to hunt for a living. There were challenges along the way and many people told Melissa that it couldn't be done. Today, she is living the life she intended to live. And, she has become the major target of some of the most high profile anti-hunters in the world. Melissa tells her story about how she got to where she is today and how to deal with the passive aggressive anti-hunter to the extremist.
