Today was just like any other Wednesday, classes News 7 yada yada... Although I did something completly out of character for myself, I did a story on hunting! Now going to school in Vermont was a drastic change for me in many ways, weather, scenery, people count... But another thing I had to get used to was the "sport" of hunting. I've always seen stalking and shooting at animals as semi-inhumane, but I have a lot of friends who do hunt and I love them just the same. I've had some heated debates but I've never been one to push my thoughts onto somebody else, they think what they think and I think what I think it shouldn't come between us. So, ironically I saw a friend/hunter in the hall way today and told him I was looking for a story to put on the News tonight and he joyfully told me that Turkey Season opens tomorrow and I should do a story on it. So I put my feelings aside and decided to learn about hunting and gain some knowledge so I wouldn't be ignorant to the subject and unfairly biased. I called up the Weighing Station in Lyndonville, which happens to be the local sport shop and set up an interview. After a long day and being silly shooting things in the story my fabulously awesome photog and I decided it would be funny to encourage my rediculousness and he agreed to shoot a stand up of me dressed in all camo. So we came up with a witty stand-up and shot it and put it into the story. It was EPIC!! I was so happy with it, it brought some life and fun into the story as well as News 7... My work here is done!
