At a Glance
This large unit is found is west-central Alaska and is bisected by the famed Yukon River. With the exception of a few towns and communities along the Yukon this area is largely remote and access into hunting areas will need to be carefully planned. This region experiences a healthy mixture of timbered slopes, open tundra, and marshy wetlands. Hunters can find great hunting and glassing opportunities with the biggest struggle for most simply lying with transportation in and out of the unit.
The logistics of reaching this unit can be steep but the reward can be excellent with great hunting opportunities and miles and miles of remote country. Excellent drop hunt opportunities can be found here for moose but outfitters tend to fill up fast and hunters need to plan for this in advance.
