This long unit is located in southwest Alaska and makes up the eastern beginning of the Aleutian Islands. A few small fishing villages can be found here but this unit is mostly remote and undeveloped. Bush and float planes are largely utilized to reach primary hunting areas and hunters can greatly distance themselves from any additional hunting pressure. This unit features a surprisingly vast array of terrain features from huge muskegs and tundra flats to steep climbing mountain ridge lines with rocky peaks. Physically reaching the hunting area can take a lot of logistics, generally more than most hunters will be willing to pay for. Overall, there is some good hunting here but many hunters will find cheaper and easier options within other units of the state.
Reaching this unit can be more expensive than some of the other options in the state and many hunters may find this too much of a hurdle to overcome. Excellent brown bear hunting is found throughout this range.
