Meet Roland Tilton - Master Maine Guide - Retired Warden

Welcome to Maine Guide Outfitter — I’m Roland Tilton, a lifelong outdoorsman, Master Maine Guide, and retired Maine Game Warden. With decades of experience in the woods and waters of Central Maine, I offer guided adventures that are rooted in tradition, wildlife knowledge, and respect for the land.

As someone who’s made a living protecting Maine’s natural resources, I now dedicate my time to helping others experience them. Whether you’re tracking snowshoe hares behind a pack of hounds, fishing quiet coves for bass and trout, or scanning a field from a heated Banks Blind for an incoming whitetail deer or coyote, I’ll work hard to give you a safe, successful, and memorable trip.

I’ve spent a lifetime learning how wildlife moves — and more importantly, how to move with it. That knowledge shows up in everything I guide: from timing your sit over bait to running the right spread for brown trout, to knowing when to push a cover for hares or call a coyote in close.

No gimmicks, no shortcuts — just real Maine hunting and fishing the way it’s meant to be done.

•  Master Maine Guide – Certified in Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation for the last 45 years.
• Retired Maine Game Warden – Years of service enforcing wildlife laws and assisting sportsmen
• Hound Man at Heart – Years spent raising and training dogs for hare and predator hunting

You’ll find the kind of trips I run aren’t about flash — they’re about results, respect for nature, and doing things the right way. I guide:

• Fully guided coyote hunts with hounds or over bait
• Snowshoe hare hunting with trained beagles
• Bass, trout, and salmon fishing by boat
• Solo deer and turkey hunts from heated blinds
• Scenic boat tours of China Lake
• And more — all customized for your season and goals

•  Decades of Local Knowledge
  I know these woods, lakes, and backroads like the back of my hand.
•  Seasoned Guide with Warden Experience
  I bring the field sense of a Game Warden and the patience of a Guide.
•  Real-Deal Adventures
  From snow-tracked hound hunts to summer trolling trips, you’ll get authentic, skillfully guided experiences.
•  Comfortable & Well-Prepared
  Heated blinds, pre-scouted areas, and top-quality gear ensure your time is well spent.

Lets Hit the Woods or Water

Whether you’re looking to chase fur, fish for dinner, or just see a part of Maine few tourists ever do — you’ll be in good hands. My goal is simple: to help you have a great time, learn something, and leave with stories you’ll want to tell again. Ready to get started?
