The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission announced Friday night that a death near a campground in Newton County was the result of an animal mauling. A 60-year-old Missouri man was found dead yards from his campsite at Sam’s Throne after a possible bear attack in Ozark National Forest near the town of Mount Judea. [More]
Thing is, you can have a gun there, you just can’t be a d!ck with it.
Tell me the old boy wasn’t a “prohibited person.”
And I love the notice at the top of the USDA page:

Firing a firearm within 150 yards of a campsite is prohibited. There is no exception detailed for guidance on what to do for bear, wolf or mountain lion attack within a prohibited area. It appears that the observation that it is better to be judged by twelve than carried by six applies.
