Outrage over Melissa Bachman Termination by National Geographic Producers

On August 30^th, the National Geographic Channel dropped Melissa Bachman from the series “Ultimate Survivor Alaska” after protests from those who are opposed to hunting animals for sport.  Melissa Bachman whom is known through her writing for Petersen’s Hunting magazine and her website as well as years in the industry producing, editing, filming and hosting television programming will no longer be on the show and we are appalled.

We are going to share a bit about the facts in this controversy and let you all decide to share your opinions and spread the message that what has happened to Melissa Bachman was wrong and that hunters and are an important part of the conservation landscape that cannot be ignored.  In the last couple of days comments from those in the industry as well as common hunters have escalated with some calling for boycotts of National Geographic to boycotting sponsors for this particular show.  We thought we would share some facts and our opinion on the growing controversy so hunters can arm themselves when discussing these issues.
