Does anybody have a KML or GIS File (.SHP or .GDB) file with the hunt unit borders for Arizona? Normally this is easy to find public information on state's GIS Database Online Portal or through Fish and Game webpages. AZ does have a couple GIS Online Map Viewer webpages, but its only viewing and no download options.

I requested this information from AZ Fish and Game directly. At first they asked "Will these records be used for a commercial purpose?" I said, "No." Then they redirected me towards their online viewer tool: https://ert.azgfd.gov/content/map. Finally, they said they cannot provide the files with the response below:

"Unfortunately, we only have the data available on the website. Per ARS 17-252 we do not provide GIS files to the public other than through our website. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help. Let me know if you have any other questions."

Does any body know where to access these datasets? How does GoHunt or OnX get their borders for AZ without more manual approaches? Perhaps there's a need for FOIA request or something? Seems bizarre they cannot provide that information when basically all other western states do.

Other data sources (viewers only, no download options):
