Who manages the land in Unit 13C?
USGS PAD-US maps 59.7% of Unit 13C as public or tribal land. By manager:
| Manager | Acres | Share of the unit |
|---|---|---|
| State of Alaska | 649,542 | 49.2% |
| Bureau of Land Management | 122,068 | 9.2% |
| National preserve (NPS) | 11,106 | 0.8% |
| Other federal land | 5,474 | 0.4% |
| Not in PAD-US | 532,048 | 40.3% |
Named areas inside 13C: State Tentatively Approved (615,860 acres, 46.6%), BLM Glennallen Field Office (115,900 acres, 8.8%) and State Patented (35,587 acres, 2.7%).

Federal law sets what each kind of land allows. A national preserve in Alaska is run like a national park except that sport hunting, subsistence hunting and trapping are allowed (16 U.S.C. 3201); national park and monument land is closed to sport hunting. On federal public land, rural Alaska residents can also hunt under federal subsistence rules, and the Federal Subsistence Board can close federal land to other hunters for a species. Land PAD-US does not map is mostly private, including Alaska Native corporation land, and needs the owner's permission.
Which areas of Unit 13C have special restrictions?
- Tok Management Area (management area): Open to sheep hunting by permit only

Do nonresidents need a guide in Alaska?
For three species, yes. ADF&G's 2026-2027 drawing supplement: "Nonresidents who are citizens of the United States are required to be personally accompanied in the field by an Alaska-licensed guide OR an Alaska resident relative 19 years of age or older within the second-degree of kindred when hunting brown/grizzly bear, Dall sheep, or mountain goat." Nonresidents who are not U.S. citizens need a licensed guide for those and for every other big game species, by ADF&G's guide requirements. Moose, caribou, black bear, bison, muskox, elk and deer need no guide for a nonresident U.S. citizen.
