Winchester Ammunition ambassador Melissa Bachman knows better than almost anyone why so many fables center around a woman alone in the wilderness, using her wits to survive encounters with bears. It's certainly true enough that she's in "their house" in this episode of Winchester Deadly Passion. There are few places on Earth where it's more apparent that you're in the bear's domain than Alaska ... but Melissa has her bow, her know-how and some tips that you can use, too.
