GrizzlyBearHuntAreas

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.
