In the museum we have a small but interesting collection of guns that include guns of the Civil War, muzzle-loading guns from the early 1800s, guns from World War II and sporting guns. I think the most interesting gun we have is a sporting gun named the Harder triple barrel rotating rifle. It is a combination rifle consisting of two smooth bore barrels and one rifled barrel. There is an advantage to having a single firearm that can fire cartridges designed for both rifled and smooth bore barrels.

There are some excellent reasons for hunting late season deer as a coordinated team. Not the least among these is that with multiple hunters in the group there is a better chance of at least one tagging a deer. Going by the odds, this alone is a good accomplishment. And if the deer is a buck, all the better. A sense of accomplishment is essential to a coordinated team deer hunt. This kind of a hunt is a fairly well-detailed plan. Isn�t it great when a plan comes together?
