The 2009 Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks Walk-In Hunting Areas (WIHA). Additional information for this program can be found at:
http://www.kdwp.state.ks.us/KDWP-Info/Locations/Hunting-Fish...

In summary, these points are at the weighted center of each tract enrolled in the WIHA program. In the real world, each tract will be marked with WIHA signage. The original file available at the above webpage (accessed Sept. 11, 2009) was converted from NAD83 TO WGS84, and Decimal Degrees TO Decimal Minutes. Please note that some tracts get removed from the program from time to time. These will also be noted on the KDWP webpage, and WIHA signs removed from those tracts. If the tract is not clearly marked as WIHA in the field, please consider it no longer in the program.

The naming of the waypoints follows the paper version published by KDWP; Page#-Tract# for that page. The comment for each waypoint indicates the months each tract is open; S=Sept., N=Nov., J=Jan., and F=Feb. For example, waypoint number 14-189 is on Page 14 of the KDWP publication, Tract 189 on that page, and is open "SJ" (Sept. through Jan.).

A final note: this is the first file I've uploaded to this great site. I'm almost positive I've created it correctly, and would appreciate any constructive feedback if there are errors.

Edit Sept 25, 09: Re-formatted numbers for proper grouping (v2).
