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…

Hobbies and How I Got Started Carving Duck Decoys
Locations: Utah and Idaho
Hobbies have always been a money drain and a release for me. I have a lot of hobbies and a few of them I am passionate about. When I was in college, my friend Jason Randolph introduced me to duck hunting over decoys with dogs and I have been forever thankful. I love ducks, dogs, and decoys. I soon began a collection of decoys for my own decoy spread and then began trying to make my own birds. Thanks to the DecoyCarvingForum (now a group on Facebook) and personal instruction from Tom Matus, I was able to get my birds into much better shape than my first cork goldeneye decoy.
