Who We Are

Maine Guide & Outfitter Services is made up of Matthew Bailey and Roger Lambert, both of which are Life Members of the Maine Professional Guides Association.

Matthew Bailey

Matthew is a registered Master Maine Guide and Life Member of the Maine Professional Guides Association working in the western mountains of Maine. Born and raised in this same area, he has an intimate knowledge of the habitat and various species of game that he guides for. Matthew grew up deer hunting in Franklin County, a pursuit he still enjoys each fall. He started guiding in 2001 and specializes in both trophy moose and turkey hunts. Matthew is also a certified Hunter Safety Instructor who stresses having fun while being both safe and ethical.

Calling mature bull moose each fall to up close and personal encounters is a passion of this guide. Luring an animal that can weigh in excess of a thousand pounds to within yards of you, whether to photograph or to hunt, is an experience of a lifetime. Hunting moose in Maine is also a once in a lifetime occurrence for most people who are lucky enough to be drawn in Maine's moose hunting lottery. Anything to do with this states largest game animal is definitely of interest to Matthew.

Matthew also spends an extensive amount of time in the woods pursuing turkeys each Spring. Calling in large, long bearded toms is the constant focus of this guide in late April and May.

Matthew also offers a limited number of archery and rifle hunts for large whitetails in October and November. Western Maine has some great bucks and harvesting one of these trophies is a true accomplishment.

If you are coming to western Maine, and want to have a great hunting, sightseeing, or other outdoor experience, Matthew would love to show you what the western mountains of Maine have to offer.

Roger Lambert

In the summer of 1962 when he was just 15 years old, Roger Lambert and an older friend outfitted and guided a group of Boston University Geology students on a 3 day trip up Day Mountain in Strong, Maine.

Forty five years later he still gets just as much kick out of it as he ever did. Whether it's Elk hunters in Colorado, a Moose Photo Safari in the High Peaks region of western Maine, Roger loves sharing the heritage and beauty of mountain habitats.

A Master Maine Guide, Roger's specialty is Moose calling and guiding trophy moose hunters often setting up remote "Moose Camps" for the enjoyment of his Staff and clients.

Roger is very proud to have mentored and inspired many young guides and has conducted Moose Educational Seminars at many of the major sporting shows in Maine. An active life member of the Maine Professional Guides Association, his advice is often sought out by many policy makers and advocates for Maine sportsmen on many back country issues.

Many of Roger's clients have taken "World Class" bulls and his favorite pursuit is "Holding Out" for a Boone & Crockett Bull.
