These cartographic resources divide the state into specific geographic areas established for wildlife management purposes. These areas, designated numerically, facilitate the regulation and allocation of hunting opportunities. An example would be Unit 22, known for its mule deer population, where specific hunt seasons and permit requirements are defined.
The documented boundaries offer substantial benefits for hunters, wildlife managers, and conservation efforts. They provide a framework for tracking animal populations, managing habitat, and setting appropriate harvest limits. Historically, the establishment of these divisions has allowed for more precise data collection and informed decision-making related to wildlife preservation and recreational hunting access.
