This large unit is found in northern Alaska along the Arctic Ocean. This unit is one of the more prolific in the state in that the Haul Road runs through the region, an area very popular among DIY caribou hunters. The Haul Rd runs from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez and acts as a service road for the Alaskan Pipeline. On either side of the road is an established 5-mile buffer zone where only archery hunting is allowed. Hunters will find a plethora of options when it comes to hunting this unit and logistically speaking, this can be one of the easier hunts in Alaska to accomplish.

This is a great unit for DIY hunters but some planning will be needed prior to the hunt to ensure they are in the right places at the right times.

The southern end of this unit will see a very jagged composition of mountains with little to no vegetation outside of tundra and occasional willow patches in creek bottoms. Great animal populations can be found here but the hunting will be physically demanding. The remainder of the under is largely composed of tundra that can be difficult to traverse but will allow for excellent glassing opportunities.

The Haul Rd will serve as the primary access point for the bulk of hunting opportunities in this area. All access from the road will be foot travel only but several spots do exist for hunters can float in including Happy Valley, Slope Mountain Camp, and north of Pump Station #2.

Because this area is primarily tundra hunters will find very little in a diversity of vegetation. Tussock, wildflowers, berry bushes, scattered willow, and tundra are about what hunters can expect.

Some lodging options can be found along the highway but most of the lodging will be had along with the highway system while camping at a vehicle. Pullouts are available every few miles along the highway and hunters are welcome to park at these but cannot block any gates accessing the pipeline itself.
