Top-Ranked Alaska Hunting Guide ~ Outfitter
About Barela's Alaskan Outfitters
The greatest compliment we receive is that many of our hunters reserve their next Alaska big game hunt before they even leave camp.
God has blessed Barela's Alaskan Outfitters and me with some of Alaska's finest hunting areas and an outstanding team of professional guides who are dedicated to helping every hunter experience the adventure and trophy hunt of a lifetime.
​
As owner and Registered Guide of Barela's Alaskan Outfitters. Growing up in Colorado, I dreamed of a bigger adventure, so in 1990 I moved to Alaska. I began working in the remote bush of western Alaska as an EMT and construction supervisor in a commercial fishing village, where I developed a deep appreciation for Alaska.
​
While building hunting camps for local outfitters, I was introduced to the guiding industry. In 1993, I was hired as a hunting guide, and I quickly discovered my true passion. More than three decades later, I'm grateful to guide hunters full-time and to lead one of the finest teams of professional hunting guides in Alaska.
​
Today, Barela's Alaskan Outfitters is proud to offer world-class Alaska brown bear hunts, Alaska black bear hunts, Alaska mountain goat hunts, and Alaska Yukon moose hunts in some of the most remote and spectacular hunting areas in the state. Our mission is simple: provide every hunter with a safe, ethical, opportunity of a lifetime to kill big game Alaskan animals and an amazing ~ unforgettable Alaska hunting experience.
Pete founded Barela's Alaskan Outfitters in 2007 after spending years guiding hunters and flying throughout Alaska's remote wilderness. Working alongside some of Alaska's most respected outfitters gave him extensive knowledge of the state's diverse big game species, challenging terrain, and ever-changing weather conditions.
As an experienced pilot and registered guide, Pete has logged thousands of hours flying his own aircraft into Alaska's backcountry, giving him a unique understanding of the country he hunts.
Pete applies decades of experience to every hunt, helping clients stay safe, hunt ethically, and maximize their opportunity for success. With years of experience both in the air and on the ground, tracking and stalking Alaska's trophy game has become second nature. His dedication, knowledge, and commitment to every hunter have earned Barela's Alaskan Outfitters a reputation for providing exceptional guided hunting experiences in Alaska.
​The extremely rare Glacier Blue Bear is found in only a handful of locations in the world, and we are blessed to guide hunters in one of those remarkable areas. Along with exceptional opportunities to pursue trophy Alaska brown bears and black bears. Many outstanding bears taken from the regions we hunt have earned Boone & Crockett recognition and have been featured in leading hunting publications.
Barela's Alaskan Outfitters has built a proven reputation for delivering first-class Alaska trophy hunts. Our hunts offer more than the opportunity to harvest a trophy animal—it provides the chance to experience some of the most spectacular wilderness in North America.
From breathtaking scenery and unforgettable adventures to exceptional trophy animals.
