[QUOTE="LBrandt, post: 172349, member: 2979"] When I was 7 or 8 years old Dad was combining on the home quarter and we use a 3/4 ton chevy pickup 51 was the year of the truck to haul grain home. Dad would put in first gear and pull out the throttle to about a fast walk and I would drive it home. Once in the yard I would turn the key off and truck would shut off. Then Mom would come get truck and unload and send me back to field the same way. I sat on my knees on the seat to be able to see out the windshield. It felt real good to be able to help with the field work. It gave you pride to be able to help with the family work. By 10 I was racking hay and by 12 I was mowing hay. By 14 I was operating anything on the farm that had a motor and had my first car at 15. Spent way more time outdoors than indoor. Hunting started at 8 with the old Red Rider BB gun had to prop the stock between my legs and pull the lever with both arms. 22 single shot at age 10, auto 22 from Montgomery Wards when I was 12 and shot Dads 12 ga for phesants. Started hunting deer at 14 with British 303, damed those things kicked when you only weighed about 100#. [/QUOTE]
