He makes a perfect shot on the 4-year-old buck they call “Slash” to fill his first buck tag of 2022. See the entire survival story of Slash by watching the full hunt at the link below.

Winchesters Deadly Passion
Hunter: Melissa Bachman
Location: Alberta, Canada
Background: Melissa Bachman is known for toughing it out in extreme weather to go after big whitetails, and this late-season hunt in Alberta turned out to be her coldest hunt ever. Temperatures dipped down to -25 F—not counting wind chill—as Bachman and her husband endured four all-day sits while waiting on a mature monarch. The buck turned out to be the largest-bodied whitetail she’s taken to date.
