Eye candy for one of the hunting shows. Seems more and more hunting shows are trying different gimmicks to improve ratings.
When i used to watch hunting shows they often showed poor shots by the host. The most common was the "Texas heart shot" Which is euphemism for a butt shot deer, elk, bear etc. Host would usually say that he was aiming for the femoral artery and was a great shot

I personally like gimmicks that involve eye candy.

I asked her about the shot.  Here is her reply.

Melissa Bachman also commented on their video:

"From the camera angle it looks a little far back but the bear went down in under 40 yards.  The shot itself was 36 yards..."

Post by: tomy salami on October 25, 2009, 12:20:11 PM
She left me a PM at length about how I do not know much about filming too. Angle of the dangle..........on and on. The message was soaked in self defense and guilt. If it was so clean, why not include tracking it in the video? Ms. Pigtails need to stick with a modern firearm next time............she aint that attractive anyways.

Smoking I think. I wonder if the calls are effective up here? I have used a Cass Creek call with no luck at all. It's called the Predator II and have nothing respond to it. Anyone else use a Cass call beforewith any results?

Post by: tomy salami on October 25, 2009, 08:06:16 PM
Pigtails, cammo, and a pair does not always equate to attractive. Stats like that are a dime a doz. Looked at her site, she is only 25...........figured her for 35. She aint got much of a shelf life.

Don't try to fulfill your fantasy, wamuley.............switch hittin' not my thing. I just have discriminating tastes.

Why get all fired up about the way that boot looks.........the real tragedy is not her appearance, but the animal she poked in the colon.

Tomy,
So you have never pulled a shot? Not too many people out there that have hunted much can say that all of thier shots have been exactly where they aimed.I have not seen the video but have seen her pics and doesn't look half bad to me.
Title: Re: Melissa Bachman shoots called in bear
Post by: carpsniperg2 on October 25, 2009, 08:56:24 PM
with that gator she is shootin a monster a dang fast bow i don't know what she shot the bear with but it seemed to take a bit for the arrow to get there i would say it was farther than 36 yards i would say like 45 what you guys think and camera angle is one thing but that arrow was still not a great shot but like said anyone who has hunted much has done it but i would like to see the tape of the from shot to dead distance 40 yards seems a bit to close to me with that impact :dunno:
Title: Re: Melissa Bachman shoots called in bear
Post by: tomy salami on October 25, 2009, 09:13:33 PM
Who hasn't shanked a shot? Nobody here post vids of it when they do, though. And they do not try to profit from it either. She should only set a good example if she is to put it on TV. If it was a clean shot, she should have shown the tracking, and the aftermath, to prove it.

Watch the video wamuley. Tell me she didn't get him the intestines.

As for her appearance, she is on TV. She gets to be held to a higher standard, especially if she is going to use her stack as bait. Hell, she aint even a seven by local standards.

I've got plenty of Dimes..  Let's see a couple Dozen.   

Obviously the shows are putting the attractive ladies on them for ratings..  Who watches the majority of the outdoor and hunting shows? Men.  We all watch "Crush" with Lee and Tiffany to see what Lee does right??  Probably not..

She got the bear down quick - according to details I read you guys posted here. Seems like it was sufficient enough to do it in one shot and that is important for a lot of people.

Not sure I would ever take that shot. I don't use the compound so I cannot say for certain it was a good or bad situation for taking a shot. Maybe that trigger and letoff is part of the problem with temptation. The bear didn't sit still long enough for me to be comfortable at taking an archery shot. With my gear I would mostly be concerned about the range of the animal. It seemed too far for a traditional bow. With a rifle I could see myself taking a shot. Although I still prefer them to sit still. It kind of looked like a split second decision for her to shoot the bear or watch it wander into the woods forever.

By the way it did look like a gut shot. She's kinda cute. Not a knockout.

I ain't never seen a dude that looks like that.

Not to just pick out your statement, but the term pro should be used loosely. She's on TV not some national championship that actually judges her skills. Have you ever watched most of the guys on those hunting shows, there form sucks and they almost all wide up and swing at the trigger when they shoot. The people that are on the shows are there because of there connections, or ambition, not abilities.
Title: Re: Melissa Bachman shoots called in bear
Post by: fisheral87 on October 28, 2009, 03:44:44 PM
True, but I feel like there is an expectation that cuz they are on TV that their skills are supposed to be better. Whether that is a valid expectation is debatable. There is a fella on VS. their I watched hunting the dry side for whiteys on private land, took a shot at a buck walking sidehill that I though was pretty far back as well. They showed that one. The guy is kind of weird, saw him kinda argue with a guide on one show about how to approach an area, don't guide the guide man. I'm sure it was the camera angle.  :chuckle:

...she just ain't all that attractive IMO.
Title: Re: Melissa Bachman shoots called in bear
Post by: tomy salami on October 28, 2009, 04:03:00 PM
Nobody want to see gutshots on TV...........Maybe it wasn't, who knows. Looked like one from my house.

One the other hand, when I watch TV, I like women to be not only competent, but decidedly attractive. Politics aside, Fox News does a fine job of finding women who can speak and look good enough to make me want to listen to them.

VS certainly could find a better looking girl to shoot bears in the stomach. She is 25. Always with makeup on or some sort of pseudo sniper face paint getup. I know for a fact, she is a throwback in real life. Ample racks are easy to find, lets just make sure they screw a good face on her before putting her on TV.

Remember, as the consumer, we have the right to demand this. If she was much better looking, perhaps I would make the time to watch her show. Perhaps the present offering is why I never heard of her/nor will I watch.

Those two Canadian fishing chicks on TV almost have a cult following, and one of them has a damn beak! We should expect more from these guys.

Post by: luvtohnt on October 28, 2009, 04:29:50 PM
Pretty funny, I think any and all people that are on TV are there because they are good at selling a product. They don't need skill or good looks, just the ability to make you think there product is the best. Mellisa is a pro staffer for North American Hunting Club so she has probably worked her way through the organization by other means than selling. Heck maybe they just wanted any woman to apply for the position to attract a different viewer base and she was the only one willing to fill the spot. I think any woman who is willing to step forward and take a place in a male dominate sport, has gotta be all right in my book. Looks don't mean everything, when I watch I show I watch to learn or out of shear boredom so who really cares who is doing the shooting, as long as I get to see some nice animals.

IMO - that was a poor shot execution...she was more concerned about the camera rolling than focusing on her shooting.  Yeah, I'm being judgemental.  She and NAHC have an obligation to portray ethical hunting, and that was NOT.  That bear never stood still, and taking shots on moving game is just stupid and disrespectful.  And to put that crap on TV?  That was pathetic.

Gut shots and excitement don't go together in my hunting camps.

Marketing hunting has become hired pretty faces.  I quit watching all the shows.  They are ads, ads, and more ads, then Tiffany talking about all the bucks she let walk that day (all over 130", no less).  That's not real hunting and nobody should be duped into thinking it is.

 :twocents: :twocents: (yeah, I probably gave a bit more than 2 cents)

Face it guys, if you want to secure the future of hunting and gun rights in this country, this is were we are going.  So I would be careful with the chauvinistic remarks.

Women and minorities are growing in status in America so we must be willing to have a more neutral attitude about people and get more women involved and what I've seen on this post would not attract fleas much less women to hunting.

Not saying to give up your nuts, just remember their have been entire cultures in the past were the premier warriors and hunters in society were women.

Title: Re: Melissa Bachman shoots called in bear
Post by: Ray on October 30, 2009, 06:16:09 PM
None of my comments were too chauvinistic and most were practical and to the point regarding the situation.

Like I said - I would like to have the animal settle still for a little bit before a shot. Especially with archery tackle. I think that bow4elk pretty much took the major points said it the way I think a lot of good archers that I know would.

Again - the fact that the animal went down with one shot is really one of the two the main points. The other being taking a shot when an animal is on the move or has not settled still momentarily. I certainly would not advocate shots like that on television though. Hopefully they come out and criticize themselves a little bit for that setup or explain the situation.

Didn't mean to step on anyones toes.  Were all on the same side. Just thinking about the future and security of the sport.

You can never convince people that we are anything other than beer drinking, crotch scratching hillbillies if we come across that way on a public forum.

Were are they now?  Do you have any Scotch-Irish ancestry.  The ancient Celts for one.  Queen Boudica and the last stand against the Romans.  She went so far to as to commit suicide for failing to avenge her people against Caesar.  Or maybe she refused to be a serf to a male dominated society.  Pretty big balls for a woman.

Are you serious with the last two questions, there has never been a great civilization that has survived. I think that people forget that we're a very young country and have plenty of time to fall. Be careful what you wish for. That is some food for thought.

Actually I (the woman) probably made the most chauvinistic remarks  :chuckle: but in the case of this show I saw a woman selling her body not so much selling good hunting.  I saw a woman getting a pass where a man wouldn't.  I prefer equal rights not special rights like the feminists of this country want.  She is promoting hunting on TV and should be held to the highest standard because that is where many people get all of their knowledge about hunting.  again the world is not run according to me....but when I rule the world  :rolleyes: watch out  :chuckle: :chuckle:
