Baranof Expeditions LLC provides fair-chase hunts for Brown Bear, Island Black Bear, Mountain Goat, Sitka-Blacktail Deer and Wolf in Southeast Alaska. Baranof Expeditions is owned and operated by James Boyce (Alaska Master guide #141) and Bert Stromquist (Alaska Registered Guide #1260). Jim and Bert have been hunting together out of Sitka since the mid-1980's. Jim worked under long-time, legendary Southeast Alaska guide, Ben Forbes, before going out on his own. Bert started working for Jim in 2001 and purchased half of the business in 2006.

Baranof Expeditions conducts hunts on the Tongass National Forest in accordance with a USFS special-use permit. Our Brown Bear and Mountain Goat hunts take place on Baranof Island, many times within the South Baranof Wilderness Area. Island Black Bear and wolf hunts take place on Kuiu Island, in and around the Tebenkof Wilderness Area. Due to the remoteness of the area, seldom do we encounter other hunters in the field.
