      <abstract>For elk hunt zone details see: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Hunting/Elk. For details about the Elk Management Program see: https://wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Mammals/Elk.The features in this dataset represent general location boundaries of Elk Hunt Zones as described in Title 14 California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 364. The boundaries are approximate and are intended for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to refer to Title 14 CCR Section 364 to obtain exact location descriptions for Elk Hunt Zone boundaries, to ensure lawful hunting activity. This dataset was last updated April 2023.</abstract>
      <purpose>Note: Hunt boundary show is an approximation. Hunters are responsible for knowing the exact boundary locations as described within Section 364, Title 14 California Code of Regulations. These data should be used to estimate the general location of the elk hunt zones.</purpose>
