Barela's Alaskan Outfitters is one of Alaska's premier hunting outfitters, earning a world-class reputation for guided Alaska brown bear, black bear, mountain goat, and Yukon moose hunts. For more than 30 years, owner and registered guide Peter Barela has helped hunters experience the adventure and trophy hunt of a lifetime. Together with a team of experienced Alaska guides, Barela's delivers exceptional trophy hunts, outstanding opportunities, and a loyal base of returning clients.
Our exclusive federal concession areas in the Tongass National Forest offer some of Alaska's finest brown and black bear hunting. Southeast Alaska is home to exceptional trophy bears, including Boone & Crockett giant brown bears recorded, and is renowned for its rare Glacier Blue Bears. Many bears harvested in our exclusive hunting areas have been featured in leading hunting publications.
From late summer through fall, we also hunt in Chugach National Forest for record-class Alaska Mt. Goat hunts, and Alaska Yukon moose hunts. And more bears in one of Alaska's most spectacular wilderness settings in the world.
Alaskan Mountain Goat Hunts
Experience the true Alaskan wilderness with Barela's Alaskan Outfitters, where hunters pursue Mt. goats, Yukon moose, and trophy bears in some of the most remote country left in North America. During mountain goat hunts, it is common to encounter both brown and black bears, so hunters are encouraged to carry the appropriate Alaska hunting licenses and tags for additional opportunities.
Alaska mountain goat hunting is a true test of strength, endurance, and determination. Hunters should arrive in excellent physical condition, prepared to climb 500 to more than 2,200 vertical feet through rugged terrain and unpredictable mountain weather. Barela's exclusive hunting areas place clients in prime mountain goat habitat, offering an authentic wilderness adventure and exceptional trophy opportunities.
Along the region's salmon-rich rivers, giant brown bears gather during seasonal runs, creating exciting spot-and-stalk opportunities that can be combined with moose or mountain goat hunts. Guided by experienced professionals, every hunt delivers the challenge, scenery, and unforgettable experience that define the Alaska wilderness.
Our Yukon moose hunts consistently produce mature bulls with antlers exceeding 60 inches.

Mo Morris 2025 Brown & Black Bear(s) Testimonial Monster: 9'8" with a 28 1/8" skull, One of only Nine bears Ever Recorded Over 28 inches in Southeast
From the moment you step onto the boat at the harbor in Yakutat, the adventure with Barela’s Alaskan Outfitters begins in unforgettable fashion. Cruising past towering glaciers and watching massive sections of ice crash into the sea while amazed cruise ship passengers look on is an experience few hunters will ever forget. Once camp is established, the real adventure begins — heading to the island to glass for bears in some of the wildest country Alaska has to offer.
At first, the bears appear slowly in the distance, but before long, sightings become frequent and the anticipation builds with every stalk. After several close encounters that just didn’t come together, the hunt finally changed in dramatic fashion. My guide, Hunter, whose passion and determination never wavered, spotted a true giant known as “The Beach Boss.” After an intense stalk along the shoreline, we thought the bear had disappeared for good. Then, using a predator call, Hunter managed to pull the massive boar from the thick brush. At only 30 yards, the opportunity finally came together. The bear measured an astonishing 9'8" with a 28 1/8" skull — one of only nine bears ever recorded over 28 inches in Southeast Alaska according to the Boone and Crockett Club records. The entire experience was the definition of wild, remote, and authentic Alaska. From the extraordinary team of seasoned guides to the untouched wilderness and world-class hunting opportunities, every moment felt like something out of another era. As Peter Barela says, “Come with a positive mindset and adventure in your heart,” and you’ll leave with stories that very few people in the world will ever be able to tell. Mo Morris testimony
Dirk Dieterich's Testimonial 2024 Brown Bear Hunt
The hunt was a true Alaskan adventure, the kind you read about in books!
Hunting with Peter and crew culminating with harvest made for a lifetime hunt!
I have also wanted to up my game and book a spot & stalk type Brown Bear hunt in Alaska! I booked a hunt with old friend Peter Barela to his new camp out of Yakutat, Alaska. A 12-day hunt based out of the only permitted camp in the Tongass National Forest accessible via a fascinating boat journey through the glacial calving waters surrounding the world’s largest tidewater glacier. With the limitations of a longbow the odds of success were limited at best. Most days we would spot 5-10 boars, on day 6 we spotted a large sow, after about an hour a large boar appeared, as he approached, I released, and the arrow hit him in the front left elbow, I nocked another arrow and hit him where I aimed. The bear let out a loud roar and did a back flip over the rock and was gone. In my 40+ years of bowhunting I had never taken a head-on shot and certainly not the largest carnivore on this continent. I looked at Peter and I with a big smile and said, “dead bear”! I can’t even explain the sense of relief that I felt. The bear measured over 9 feet.
The hunt was a true Alaskan adventure, Time with Peter and his crew made for a lifetime hunt!

Mt. Goat Hunt Testimonial
"Peter Berala and his crew are honest people who put everything they have into giving you a great hunt. Their guides are incredibly qualified, and when you’re in that kind of country, you appreciate just how much their experience matters. The animals, hunting areas, and overall quality of the experience are second to none. I killed a once-in-a-lifetime mountain goat and came home with memories I’ll never forget. I’d hunt with Peter again without hesitation."
