The Whitney lands have been reclassified with new names for various usages designated by ACE. The Classification were last done in 1972. The new classifications are being implemented for 2017. The document dose state that there will be no changes to current use for the hunting program with a very small exception to a very small amount of acreage. But it dose not state that can not happen later on. As some current hunting areas are now re-classified as "Environmentally Sensitive Areas" in certain sections.
