Description: This data set represents the 2015 Wildlife Division administrative regional boundaries for Wyoming. 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.
Description: 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.
