This island is found in southeast Alaska and features the famed Wrangell Mountains and Wrangell- St. Elias National Park. A lot of hunting opportunities exist here including the rare chance to pursue Bison. Much of the unit is comprised of national parkland and Ahtna Inc, a native-owned company, that are both not open to hunting. Certain portions of the park are deemed as the Wrangell- St. Elias National Preserve and are open to hunting. The limited amount of hunting areas within the unit can cause a concentration of hunters and an obvious increase in pressure at times and this can cause push some hunters into adjoining units.

This is a good opportunity for free range bison but hunters will have to play the draw odds game.

This area has the fairly typical makeup of most of this portion of the state- wide spread river bottoms that extend for miles and large, steep ridge lines that climb into impressive precipice faces. Small feeder streams and creeks wind around most of the river bottom areas and can make cross country travel difficult at times. Most of these areas are densely vegetated with heavy undergrowth and stands of timber. Floating rivers and streams generally provide the easiest long distance travel options but hunters may have to float for many miles to reach legal lands. The high country areas are mostly void of heavy ground cover and highly glassable. Traversing these areas can be easy and straight forward but hunters will need to take care to not become cliffed out.

Access options into towns and villages around the unit are great but hunters will need to be careful of the access points to hunting areas within the unit. Because of the broken distribution of private and public lands hunters often times have to either fly or float into huntable lands with few options existing for foot travel from the highway system. A few remote airstrips dot the region and can be good options for some. Glaciated rivers are subject to daily swelling and can be difficult to cross at times.

Most of the river bottom areas will be comprised of heavy timber stands with some white spruce but a small bump in elevation will reveal a greater distribution of aspen, and hemlock. River bottom areas and marshlands are largely comprised of grasses, sedges, alder, dwarf birch, and black spruce. Higher elevation areas above treeline will generally see a higher distribution of mountain hemlock, tundra, berry plants, and small shrubs. Traversing country in and around the river bottom areas can very difficult at times due to dense vegetation. Wading smaller creeks can be effective or following established game trails. Small gains in elevation in these areas can make spotting game from a distance much easier and can reduce the physical output need to cover multiple areas during a day.

There are a few options for modern lodging in the towns and villages around the unit but daily travel from these areas to hunting locations can be difficult. Most hunters will opt for primitive camping options either along river banks or from base camps after being flown in.
