If you can get the data in shapefiles, it will be easy to make a transparent overlay map. I gave the site a quick look and see that you can download .pdf files...

Well, you would want to get whatever data you want in the ESRI Shapefile format. If that happens to be GMU, deer or elk ranges, check with the data provider for what is available. Also I found this on their page:
QuoteDeveloped in response to public requests for interactive recreational information, GoHunt will be enhanced over the coming months. We welcome user suggestions, which may be sent to [email protected].
I would recommend suggesting they make the data downloadable right from their site.
