The Arkansas Code Annotated is silent on this issue. The regulations of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission are not. The overview is given first and several examples are given below. I found a few regs that I didn't post, but they all seem to follow the same pattern.

Concealed Weapon Permit Holders
Concealed weapon permit holders may carry a modern handgun, except in places where otherwise prohibited under federal, state or local law or where not allowed by the landowner. Concealed weapon permit holders are not allowed to use their concealed weapon for any hunting purpose. All concealed handgun permit holders must identify themselves to a wildlife officer when complying with an inspection pertaining to birds, fish, game or other wildlife resources.
