The Eide's are excellent stewards of the land. These are the kind of people we really enjoy working with, and we want to see them succeed. His grandfather came to South Dakota in the late 1800s. When they started the cattle across the river, Grandpa got two mules and held onto their tails without knowing how to swim. Hills are intertwined with row crops, pastures and steep, heavily wooded ravines.
Wildlife abounds on the property.
Local conservation officer Dennis Lingkeck, of the South Dakota Game and Fish Department, stopped by one afternoon during the filming. Our estimates are that there are 10,000 to 12,000 birds right here. Eide also owns the largest private lake in South Dakota. Flooded timber and submersed creek channels provide genuine trophy-class largemouth bass fishing. Accommodations include breakfast and lunch, plus the use of a five-bedroom house, the first section of which was built near the turn of the 19th century.
