What is up with Arkansas bears?

[top_dollar]

It wasn't really  much of an "attack".  1 of the 5000 bears in Arkansas smelled their hot dogs and checked it out.  They scared it away, it came back a few hours later, and they scared it away again.  It would be scary for the campers, but hardly an attack.  Now they have a cool story to tell.

Am I the only one who carries a gun in the wilds?

Missouri and Arkansas are free carry states, concealed or open.  Bears, dogs, crazy crack heads.  Carry a firearm.

I have never felt the need.  By and large I think I am the monster that other creatures should be worried about.  I am large, hairy and make horrific sounds both awake and asleep.  I tend to be tangled in a mass of treble hooks or winging them around dangerously.  Like a skunk I also have the ability to generate an incredibly fowl odor when frightened.
