This smaller unit, located in south-central Alaska, lies just north of Anchorage. This area is close to several large cities and towns and can receive heavy amounts of pressure at times. A large portion of this unit is remote and roadless which will cut down on foot traffic, but fly in hunts are very popular throughout the unit. This area is primarily mountains with large river bottoms; physical fitness can play a role when hunting rougher areas. Glassing opportunities are generally good here and hunters can expect most of their effort to be spent using them.

This area houses a good deal of remote country but still sees quite a bit of hunting pressure due to its close proximity to large cities and towns.
