Her passion for hunting started at a young age and has continued as she spends over 190-days in the field a year shooting and producing Winchester Deadly Passion. This is not something that was handed to Melissa, and her triple threat expertise of producing, hosting, and writing has helped her achieve those goals. Today Melissa's goal is to get as many new people involved in the outdoors through her TV show, appearances and speaking engagements. She gives kids and newcomers not only a role model to look up to, but someone they can count on for exciting, educational, and entertaining hunts.
