About Southeast Alaska Guiding

As the owner and operator of Southeast Alaska Guiding, Hans Baertle started guiding in 1978 and has been a registered guide since 1984. With 37 years of professional guiding experience throughout Southeast Alaska, Hans has accumulated a wealth of knowledge about the areas and trophy animals he specializes in. As your captain, Hans holds a US Coast Guard Operators License and is also a commercial fisherman during the off season, so fishing is welcomed as well. We are located in Southeast Alaska and specialize in boat hunts on Admiralty Island and the Coastal Mountain Range. Our customized hunts focus on brown bear, black bear and mountain goat. The knowledge you will gain from Hans is priceless as it can only be obtained through experiencing it yourself. With your guide showing you all the best hunting locations throughout Southeast Alaska, you will have the advantage of coming upon some serious big game trophies. While on your guided hunt, we don't want you to only think about the game. Take some time to really take in all that is offered in one of the most scenic landscapes of Alaska. The scenery and wildlife that surrounds us will be an experience alone to take home and talk about.
