This unit is located in southeastern Alaska and lies along the Canadian border. This entire region is very isolated and only accessible via boat or aircraft. Utilizing a ferry is a cheaper option but the severe lack of road systems found within the unit will really handicap this route. Logistically, hunters will need to be very diligent in their hunting plans when it comes to securing access into hunting areas as well as leaving the areas. Hunters will find plenty of opportunities for hunting here but many will find the associated expenses due to the remoteness outweigh the opportunities available.
Good hunting opportunity can be found here but reaching the unit and then finally reaching hunting grounds can mean lengthy travel times and large expenses.
