This small unit is found in west central Alaska and lies along the coast of the Pacific Ocean. While hunting opportunities do exist here many hunters are not willing to deal with the logistics of needing to travel so far when just as good, or better, hunting can be found in easier to reach locations. Beyond travel issues, much of this unit is comprised of native-owned lands and public land distribution is low. Nome is the primary town within the unit a few road systems leaving the area can provide some vehicle access options.
Decent hunting opportunities can be found here but reaching the unit can be expensive and require a good deal of planning. Many hunters will opt for easier to access units with better hunting opportunities.
