MI elk zones- On-X PSA

[Steelsearchin]

With Michigan's December hunt more than half over, this is info has a pretty small audience, but some of the On-X elk unit layer boundaries are way off.

I'm sure there is some fine print stating they aren't liable for errors, but these are super hard to draw tags.

I'm not talking feet or yards, but over 3+ miles. For OIL tag holders (bull tags), you would think they could manage to correctly identify boundaries for just two zones (the area outside the core elk zone is open to either tag).

The MI DNR was informed and said they would try and get it corrected with On-X, but this is a highly regulated hunt, and I'm sure we weren't the first to bring it up.

My buddy did finally punch his cow tag on day three, but nobody needs that stress in their life!

OnX's data is only as good as what is provided to them by the various state and federal agencies. Stuff like this occurs all over. You can also report the error to OnX: https://onxmapssupport.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002026232-Reporting-a-map-error

Thanks, I'll send it in as well.

Pretty bad when you're dropping pins for future grouse covers and realize over lunch they aren't showing up in your unit. I'm friends with the manager of the Pigeon so I called him and he defaulted to, "Yup, dont trust On-X!!" Explain that to an adult onset hunter who lives and breaths On-X.

I wonder if those boundaries are off on the MI-Hunt map?
