Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What is the earliest thing you remember?

Playing with my great grandfather when I was two, one of my sisters and I would hang locust shells on his nose and ears while he sat in a chair by the back fence watching the neighbors chickens peck. Also remember my dad watching TV the evening Kennedy was shot, it was his birthday and one week before my 3rd.

I can’t remember much before 4 ,but one of my brothers said he remembered 9 days before he was born,said mom was setting out sweet potatoe plants and he would pull them up ,I never did really believe him

Two of my earliest memories are of my dad stepping out into the yard with a 12 gauge and blasting a squirrel that had been raising hell in our attic and taking me out to the garage to see a deer he had shot. Don't recollect how old I was but we moved out of that house when I was 4.

I remember living with my grandparents while my mother was fighting cancer in the hospital. Of course I didn't know anything about cancer, just that my mom left me with grandma and grandpa. I guess I was one or two years old (There's no one left alive that I can ask). I remember my grandfather would carry me on his shoulders and show me all the pictures on the walls up close. Eventually, I forgot about my mother, and when she came back to get me, having defeated cancer, at first I didn't know who she was. Took me a few minutes.

I remember being with my dad when he was building a well house. Must have been about 3.

That happened to me too, they told me not to fuuck with it.

Found my grandmother dead in that same house, 20 years later. She had a heart attack also. If I make my birthday in a few weeks I will have outlived all my parents and grandparents.

Good luck to you.

I remember my mom and sister stopped on the road and got a turtle for me, I was 5 and thrilled beyond belief.

I got up at 7 this morning.

I remember the night the Dr. came to the house to deliver me.....

Being on a swing at a park about 4 yrs old.
And a schnauzer type small dog going back and forth barking at me while I was being pushed by my mom.
The dog was friendly, just excited to hear a kid laughing at it while swinging.

I went to help my aunt do clothes one time and started putting clothes in the ringer. She said hold on let me show you this. When you get your fingers in there pull this lever to release it so you can get your fingers out. I decided to go help my uncle in the garden instead.

I remember my great grandfather reading to me. I remember the book cover and him reading. Not sure how old I was.

My earliest memory is loading 375 H&H ammo on an old C&H press. I was 4.


Ok, that's a lie.


It wasn't 375 H&H....it was .270.
