Chuck, Brook Trout, Poison Ivy, Turkey Hunting, Taylor, and the Shaking Tree Artwork

So, There I Am...

This is Travis Jay Vernon and Welcome! to the So There I Am... Podcast. I have been spending time in the outdoors since I could walk. I started out catching frogs and insects, and then hunting with everything from a BB gun and archery gear, to chasing big game with a rifle. I have been an avid fisherman everywhere I have lived and traveled. Cooking, foraging, fishing, and hunting have been a driving force for me. The only thing I am more passionate about than these things is sharing them with others and teaching those who want to learn. Along the way I have told, heard, and lived different stories.Stories told well allow a listener to live vicariously, reminisce of past experiences, or even dream of adventures to come. I will be sharing stories with you from my own experiences as a fly-fishing guide, retail manager, outdoor enthusiast, traveler, explorer and just everyday life. There will be stories from guests and stories from friends and others in different locales and varied walks of life. Every day is an opportunity for new adventures and expanding your own story. Let’s get to the stories!So, there I am…

Show Notes 22:

Chuck, Brook Trout, Poison Ivy, Turkey Hunting, Taylor, and the Shaking Tree

Locations: Minnesota and Wisconsin

Spending time in the Mid-West after college was a wonderful experience. I spent the first few years focused on all of the things that I hadn’t been able to do in the western states, whitetail deer and turkey hunting, fishing for musky, walleye, and sturgeon, and finding all sorts of new mushrooms and wild edibles. This podcast is a story about a work friend named Chuck and my first experience with poison ivy. We fish for brook trout near the Kinnikinnick River and have a great time. I also talk about hunting turkeys with my stepson Taylor with a story about a shaking tree.

If you are looking for equipment check out Mills Fleet Farm. I really enjoyed working for them and the friendships I made there are some of the best I have ever had.

If you are enjoying the stories and the podcast, I would really appreciate a 5 star review and please subscribe so you don’t miss an episode.

I would love to connect with you all at Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube!
