Season 15 of ‘Winchester Deadly Passion’ Now Airing Sundays on Sportsman Channel

DENVER (July 28, 2026) - Winchester Deadly Passion returns to Sportsman Channel with new episodes every Sunday morning at 11:30 a.m. ET, and Season 15 of the award-winning program hosted by fan-favorite Melissa Bachman promises some of the best hunting action in the history of the long-running program. The universally respected and beloved host, who famously earned her way in the hunting industry through dogged determination and ample amounts of elbow grease, has built her reputation as a highly skilled, hardcore hunter with a fun-loving approach to sharing her passion for the outdoors. Over the years, Melissa Bachman has developed a unique fast-paced, in-the-moment style of capturing her hunting experiences in the field, and she's equally adept at showcasing the most effective techniques, skills and tactics in a way that helps viewers make the most of their own hunting opportunities.

Now joined by husband and co-host Ben Bearshield and family, Bachman's dream of building a career in the outdoor industry and living an adventurous hunting lifestyle has come full circle, and in every episode of Winchester Deadly Passion she pays homage to those who first mentored her by doing her best to both inspire and educate the next generation of hunters. Bachman travels widely to hunt with both firearms and archery equipment, and whether she's waiting in ambush for rutting whitetails in a Midwestern shelterbelt near home, still-hunting and calling big brown Alaska-Yukon moose in the Canadian bush or climbing into range of a Himalayan tahr in the Southern Alps of New Zealand, viewers can count on sharing every heart-pounding moment.

Season 15 starts off with back-to-back episodes from Alberta, as Bachman and husband/co-host Ben Bearshield spot and stalk early season muleys. Then it's off to New Brunswick where Melissa experiences one of her best moose camps ever. The next two episodes are set in New Zealand, where Melissa hunts tahr with SCI bid-winner and guest Lori McClain. Then it's time for Colorado antelope and velvet muleys before heading to the Far North for Yukon moose. Upon return, it's time to rattle up whitetails in Big Sky Country, and there's so much more to come. Viewers won't want to miss a single episode of Season 15.
