this once it becomes easier.

Step 1: click the white box with the black plus sign inside it (add
layers) in the top left area of the screen.

Step 2: click on "fish, wildlife, and plant species"

Step 3: scroll down and click on "limited entry hunting zones" or
"Wildife Management Units", whichever interest you, then close the add
layer box

Step 4: on the right hand side un-check the "Hillshade Color"" box (this
is a big file which will slow the computer down) zoom in on the area of
interest (magnifying glass tool on top left corner), do not zoom in more
than 1:300,000 to start and click "refresh map"

Step 5: Un-check all the LEH boxes which don't apply, leave the LEH box
for the species you are interested in checked, for Management Unit
boundaries you do not need to check or uncheck boxes

Step 6: There are the LEH and MU boundaries for the province, you can
zoom in on your area using the magnifying glass tool on the top left
corner.

Step 6: Click on the "i" inside the circle (information button) next to
the LEH moose box in the layers column, it should turn dark. Then click
on the same "i" symbol on the tool bar at the top of the map. Now you
can click on your zone of interest and get information on the area you
are hunting. At this point you can bring the scale down to as small as
1:20,000 and see the details closer.

To print the map simply click the printer button on the menu bar and you
will be guided through making a .pdf file of the area.

This map program is a great tool, explore other layers, you may find
some interesting things. Feel free to "put the word out" and let your
friends know about this information source. Also feel free to call me if
you have any problems. You will need a computer with some decent
processing power and a reasonably fast connection to the internet to use
this program effectively.

You can also use google earth to do the same thing as IMAP but with a much less cumbersome interface.

I only found out this year, emailed the gov with a few questions and got the above reply.

Lucky guy. They'll be easier to find...with some scouting.
