About Your Guide

Tyler K.

Independent Guide

I have hunted and fished the state of Maine since I was able to walk. I really enjoy getting other people the outdoor experience they are looking for. From harvesting your first animal to targeting a certain animal or species I enjoy getting others outdoors.

When not guiding I spend my time in the outdoors and with my family. We love to go camping all year. Even camping on the ice and ice fishing. We spend a lot of time on the water and in the woods hunting/fishing and scouting year round.

I am a career fire captain and emergency medical technician for the City of Ellsworth so safety is a top priority. If something were to happen on a trip I have the skills and training to mitigate any emergency.

Hunting and fishing is not a hobby for me, it is a year round activity that I enjoy.

Life experience, not just guiding. Military experience, fire service experience. My entire life I have worked to serve others in some way.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
