On The Ground
This large unit is found in northeastern Alaska and features expanses of remote country to hunt. The Yukon River runs through a large portion of the area and will generally serve as a major hub for access options as well as a handful of small towns found in the area. Most of the hunting will generally be conducted from the Yukon or through the use of planes to access more remote areas inland. Several species can be hunted here with the primary target being Moose.
The logistics of reaching huntable areas in this unit can be tough but hunters can find some exceptional opportunities for their efforts. Generally speaking, moose is the primary target species but some other opportunities can be found here as well.
Terrain
New Section ContentThis entire area is primarily comprised of rolling hill country and large expansive river drainages. Many creeks and rivers cover this area and make for a diverse area with plenty of room for game to hide. By utilizing the many small ridges and rolling hills hunters can find excellent vantage points. Higher elevation ridgetops tend to see much less vegetative cover and also make for great travel options.
Roughly 17,462 square miles
67% Public land
Elevations range from 600-4,800 feet
Vegetation
This area is primarily boreal forest and will see the typical makeup of birch, black spruce, willow, bramble, and tundra. Glassing conditions are great for the most part and small bumps in elevation can reveal miles and miles of terrain. Traversing the tundra can be tough walking at times. Some of the higher elevations in the region will see a good distribution of willow, alder, and black spruce. In these areas, glassing and walking conditions will be excellent.
Access
The Yukon River runs through the main center of the unit and will provide most of the river access when using boats. Several smaller rivers feed into the Yukon and can make for good float hunt options. Generally, most of the remote hunting will be done through the use of planes.
Camping and Lodging
New Section ContentFor the most part, hunters will be forced to camp in the bush when hunting this area due to the remoteness. Many gravel bars can be found scattered along rivers and streams and higher ridgelines can make great base camp locations for fly in hunts.
