When you reserve your Alaskan Hunting Trip you will stay with us in lodging right in Yakutat or Cordova. A beautiful place to regroup get a nice night's rest from your travels and go through your gear to make sure you have all you need, if not we can get you to the store to get the basics. There is no sporting goods store in Cordova just the basics. You will have home cooked meals, or you can go out to one of the local restaurants. Transportation will be provided from the airport to the lodge and back once your hunt is complete. We will meet you at the airport on your arrival date for the experience of a lifetime. 

Get your weapon then go directly to the gun range to make sure your weapon is still sited in. Then we will go directly to the lodge for an evening of rest and getting to know each other. Please note Alaska Air is the only airlines that travels to Cordova and Yakutat.​The Bear Country Hunting Lodge has four bedrooms, two private rooms, 7 bunks, and one full bath. The Lodge also includes living quarters, living and full kitchen with TV, internet connection, good cell service and Wi-Fi. We have found that a five-person hunting group is the most efficient number for us to handle comfortably. If you have a larger group, we can accommodate on a group-by-group basis so do not hesitate to call us and discuss exactly what you are looking for.

As a family man, I love to be of service to all. I believe we need to provide our future generations with exposure to the great outdoors through hunting. We have been blessed with multiple family members hunting teams. Additionally, we are very diligent that SAFETY COMES FIRST, as there are animals on the top of the food chain. Even though all our camps are equipped with the latest technology to keep us safe, we still need to stress that everyone needs to be precautious. Also, the weather elements can be harsh. Please remember that non-hunting guests will be with the hunting party at all times.

Barela’s Alaskan Outfitters is the only guiding operation allowed in the Russel Fiord under a federal concession through May 15th. The highest density of the rare Glacier Blue Bear is in the Russell Fiord and in the other hunting area, along with an abundant amount of Giant Brown bears and Black bears. A majority of our Brown bears make Boone & Crocket as well as other hunting publications. We operate the rest of the year on 55,000 acres of private lands. Nestled against the Wrangell Mountains, on the edge of the Wrangell's St Elias National Park, this is as breathtaking of landscape as can be found on any of Alaska’s coastline. Having not being commercial hunted since 2007, being so remote, and bordering the untouched national park, Icy Bay can provide our hunters with the opportunity to pursue Boone & Crocket animals. The rest of our hunting areas are Native lands.
