All around Taean are these banners with this crab holding a banner. The characters under the crab say Taean (the first two syllables) something (maybe "gun" but I am not certain) and I think the crab is the symbol of this part of Korea. Taean is kind of the county seat.
Well I finally asked one of the guys at the range what the crab's banner says. He told me it is a message telling people to prevent fire in the mountains. I asked him why a crab, since in the US if it was in a forest (or the mountains, like these banners) we would use Smokey the Bear to deliver the message. He just laughed.
