This data set represents the 2020 black bear hunt area and management unit boundaries for Wyoming. It was originally digitized at a scale of 1:100,000, using USGS 1:100,000 DRGs as a backdrop for heads up digitizing. Hunt area boundary descriptions are part of hunting regulations, which are approved and published by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. For updates, the Wyoming Atlas and Gazetteer (DeLorme, Inc.) is consulted for road and other information. In addition, a streams layer, a roads layer, and a HUC12 layer (converted from polygons to lines) are used to capture new linework. Other layers may be used as needed.
NOTE: A layer of management units is derived from this hunt area layer by dissolving on the "MGMTUNIT" attribute (Dissolve_Fields), and unchecking the box "Create multipart features (optional)". All of the same metadata is used from the hunt area layer except that the citation title is modified so that "Management Units" replaces "Hunt Areas". The "Dissolve" tool: ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Generalization.
This data set represents the 2021 grizzly bear hunt area boundaries for Wyoming. It was originally created at a scale approximating 1:100,000 by incorporating linework from various source data sets. These included USFS roads and trails, Esri USA Major Roads, Esri USA Federal Lands and Esri USA Rivers and Streams. Hunt area boundary descriptions are part of hunting regulations, which are approved and published by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. For updates, the Wyoming Atlas and Gazetteer (DeLorme, Inc.) is consulted for road and other information. In addition, a streams layer, a roads layer, and a HUC12 layer (converted from polygons to lines) are used to capture new linework. Additionally, the authoritative Wyoming Game and Fish Black Bear Hunt Areas lines we used. Other layers may be used as needed.
