Muzzleloader shot kills Texas hunter

TEXARKANA -- A Texas man died in an accidental shooting while hunting in southwest Arkansas, officials said.

The Miller County sheriff's office said James Druhan, 54, of Texarkana, Texas, was found dead Wednesday near his deer stand in the Sulphur River Wildlife Management Area. Sheriff's investigator Wesley Penny said Druhan was accidentally shot with a muzzleloader.

Penny told the Texarkana Gazette that investigators don't suspect foul play.

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission says friends and relatives began searching for Druhan after he didn't return from his hunting trip Tuesday. His body was discovered early Wednesday.
