Man dies in hunting accident in NW Arkansas

December 2, 2010

BOSTON — Arkansas Game and Fish officials say a man has been killed in a hunting accident near Boston in the northwest part of the state.

Game and Fish officials say a family member found the man’s body late Wednesday, but investigators believe the body had been there several hours.

Arkansas Game and Fish officials told KFSM-TV Thursday the man was identified as 34-year-old Gaylen Dowdy.

Family members told officers they went looking for him after he didn’t come back from a morning hunting trip.

Investigators say it appears Dowdy’s shotgun fired as he was trying to get off a four-wheeler.
