- Abstract
- This data set is a polygon region features shapefile representing Wisconsin DNR Bear Management Zones as region features. Bear Management Zones indicate the areas with various bear hunting regulations throughout Wisconsin. Hunting regulations may vary between and within zones.

This data set includes the most detailed data regarding where dogs are allowed for purposes of bear hunting. This data set is intended for use with ArcView, ArcInfo, or other GIS software which support shapefile format.
- Supplemental Information
