This enormous unit is located in south-central Alaska along the Cook Inlet. A huge array of terrain types and hunting opportunities exist here and careful planning could lead to the trip of a lifetime. A limited road system is found here and most of the hunting access options will be from a plane or by float hunting. Because of its close proximity to Anchorage, this unit does see some hunting pressure but the logistics of entering the area does restrict a lot of that. Rivers and streams criss-cross through most of this area with huge bogs and muskegs scattered in between which can make cross country travel difficult at times.
This area offers some good hunting opportunities, but there are very few options for easy access. Hunters will need to utilize planes or boats to get into most of the areas.
