This huge unit is found in south-central Alaska and features a wide array of species and terrain features. Seward is the most notable city within the unit but several towns can be encountered throughout the unit, especially along the Seward Highway. Depending on the season and species hunters will have several options for accessing the unit ranging from boats and planes to vehicles. Vegetation can be dense at times in lower elevation areas but hunters will find a lot of huntable country above timberline where traversing the country is much easier. High country areas are often composed of large, steep, and rocky knife ridges that are as impressive as they are beautiful.
Escaping hunting pressure can be tough in some areas here to the ease of access and reciprocity to Anchorage but most locals tend to stick to easy to access hunting areas. Still, research can lead hunters to great hunting opportunities. Great ptarmigan hunting in the high country.
