The President may designate Arkansas land in the Ozark National Forest to protect game animals, birds, or fish. Without Agriculture Department rules allowing it, covered hunting, trapping, disturbance, killing, and egg-taking are unlawful there.
The President may set aside, in his discretion, national-forest land in Arkansas’s Ozark National Forest to protect game animals, birds, or fish. Except as allowed by rules the Secretary of Agriculture issues from time to time, no person may hunt, catch, trap, intentionally disturb, or kill any game animal, game or nongame bird, or fish, or take such a bird’s eggs, on the set-aside land or in or on its waters.
The President of the United States is authorized to designate such national forest lands within the Ozark National Forest, within the State of Arkansas, as should, in his discretion, be set aside for the protection of game animals, birds, or fish; and, except under such rules and regulations as the Secretary of Agriculture may from time to time prescribe, it shall be unlawful for any person to hunt, catch, trap, willfully disturb, or kill any kind of game animal, game or nongame bird, or fish, or take the eggs of any such bird on any lands so set aside, or in or on the waters thereof.
