DeerHuntAreas

This data set represents the 2026 deer hunt area, herd unit, and regions boundaries for Wyoming. The layer was originally digitized at a scale of 1:100,000, using USGS 1:100,000 DRGs as a backdrop for heads up digitizing. Updates requested by Wyoming Game and Fish Biological Services were completed by selecting needed features from other layers, including roads, streams, HUCs, NAIP 2009 rasters and others. Hunt area boundary descriptions are part of hunting regulations, which are approved and published annually by the Wyoming Game and Fish Commission. When needed, the 2008 edition (1st Edition) of the Wyoming Road and Recreation Atlas (Benchmark Maps) was consulted for road and other information. NOTE: A layer of herd units is derived from this hunt area layer by dissolving on the "MD_HERDUNIT" or ""WD_HERDUNIT" and "MD_HERDNAME" or ""WD_HERDNAME" attributes (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 "Mule Deer Herd Unit" or "White-tailed Deer Herd Unit" replaces "Hunt Area". The "Dissolve" tool: ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Generalization. NOTE: A layer of nonresident regions is derived from this hunt area layer by dissolving on the "Region" attribute (Dissolve_Field), 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 "Nonresident Region" replaces "Hunt Area". The "Dissolve" tool: ArcToolbox > Data Management Tools > Generalization.本数据集涵盖怀俄明州2026年猎鹿区域、鹿群单元及区域边界。该图层原始数字化比例尺为1:100000，以美国地质调查局（USGS）1:100000数字栅格图（DRGs）作为背景开展屏幕数字化作业。怀俄明州鱼类与野生动物生物服务部门提出的更新需求，通过从道路、溪流、水文单元（HUCs）、2009年全国航空影像计划（NAIP）栅格数据等其他图层选取所需要素完成更新。猎区边界说明为狩猎法规的组成部分，由怀俄明州鱼类与野生动物委员会每年批准并发布。必要时，将参考2008年版（第一版）《怀俄明州道路与休闲地图集》（Benchmark Maps出版）获取道路及其他相关信息。注1：可通过本猎区图层，按"MD_HERDUNIT"或"WD_HERDUNIT"与"MD_HERDNAME"或"WD_HERDNAME"属性进行融合（Dissolve_Fields），并取消勾选“创建多部件要素（可选）”，从而生成鹿群单元图层。该图层沿用猎区图层的全部元数据，仅修改引用标题，将“猎区”替换为“骡鹿鹿群单元”或“白尾鹿鹿群单元”。融合工具路径为：ArcToolbox > 数据管理工具 > 概括。注2：可通过本猎区图层，按"Region"属性进行融合（Dissolve_Field），并取消勾选“创建多部件要素（可选）”，从而生成非居民狩猎区域图层。该图层沿用猎区图层的全部元数据，仅修改引用标题，将“猎区”替换为“非居民狩猎区域”。融合工具路径为：ArcToolbox > 数据管理工具 > 概括。
