This large unit is found in south-central Alaska and lies north of Anchorage. A few roads provide vehicle access into a number of areas but most of this unit is fairly remote and will require a plane, foot travel, or floating access. This area is primarily comprised of large expansive marshes, muskegs, and timber patches. The northern end of the unit does see some mountainous terrain from the Tokosha Mountains, but this area is almost entirely contained within Denali National Park and is not open to hunting. Vegetation can be very dense along river bottom areas and around lakes which can make glassing difficult and impede cross country travel. With good pre-hunt research, hunters can run into some good opportunities in this unit.
This area has good hunting opportunities, but the areas near the highways receive a good deal of hunting pressure. With careful planning before the hunt, it is possible to escape the majority of hunting pressure. Moose hunting itself is still pretty good but the trophy potentials have been on a slight decline.
