East River Guide Services PDF Print Email


The ring-neck pheasant is our state bird and some of the best pheasant hunting in the world is experienced in our area. Together they make South Dakota a bird hunters paradise. Let East River Guide Service be your ticket to an incredible hunting experience.

Here at Dakota Sportsman and East River Guide Service I have enjoyed the great outdoors and have been hunting and fishing most of my life. I spend a great deal of time on the water as a professional guide, in tournament fisherman or just pleasure fishing. I am also involved with, and encourage children's fishing programs.

I participate in outdoor shows, promoting fishing and the equipment needed for a successful outing. I also enjoy building custom rods and repairing all types of rods for clients.

In the fall of the year, I spend an equal amount of time in the field as a professional guide for pheasant or waterfowl hunting. Like fishing, I am also in the fields for my own pleasure at times.

Let me show you a South Dakota that you'll never forget!

Dakota Sportsman means hunting! The ring-neck pheasant is our state bird and some of the best pheasant hunting in the world is experienced in our area.

We also happen to be located on one of the major Canadian flyways which make this area equally suited for waterfowl hunting.

Being so rich in pheasant, duck & geese populations - a full day can be accomplished by hunting waterfowl in the morning and then switching to pheasant hunting in the afternoon.

 Hunting

Pheasant and Upland Hunting
At Glacial Lakes Resort we have over three thousand acres of privately owned land on which to hunt South Dakota's State bird, the ring-necked pheasant. Our land is meticuously cultivated to provide premier habitat for wild pheasants, resulting in a huge population of birds.

Our employees work with several organizations, such as Pheasants Forever, South Dakota Game & Fish, Natural Resource & Conservation and Ducks Unlimited, to ensure that our land provides the best habitat possible for pheasants, ducks, deer and other wild game.


Waterfowl Hunting

At Glacial Lakes Hunting Resort you'll find a group of guys who are hardcore goose and duck hunters. We choose to live and breath South Dakota air because hunting is our passion.
 
South Dakota waterfowl hunting is excellent, fast-paced and of course, lots of fun. We're right in the heart of the central flyway where hundreds of thousands of waterfowl make their yearly migration. Thousand upon thousands of birds migrate through our privately owned and operated hunting waters and fields each fall. Our guided goose hunting adventures mean you likely will experience these large flocks at very close range. You just bring your gun, shells, waders, license and stamps ... leave eveything else up to us.

Our Lodge - Glacial Lakes Hunting Resort

The resort can handle most size groups. We have plenty of rooms with indivdual bathrooms in most of them. Glacial Lakes Hunting Resort is an excellent choice for corporate outings or client entertaining. We will make sure that your guests will have the best outdoor experience of their lives. The resort makes you feel like you are sitting in your den reading your latest outdoors magazine in your favorite chair.
Our spacious, rustic-styled resort is very nice, clean, and comfortable. All meals are furnished and no one ever leaves hungry.

After eating a fabulous meal, hang out at our large full service bar, play a game of pool, or watch a movie on one of our big-screen TV's with satellite. Better yet, hop in the large jacuzzi and unwind.


Cuisine

Dining at Glacial Lakes Hunting Resort is always a treat. Our gourmet chefs will wow any appetite with carefully prepared prime aged Angus beef, fish, pork and wild game.
 

Trap Shooting

Trap shooting is almost like playing golf with a shotgun. Instead of whacking a ball with a club, you shoot a flying clay target with a shotgun. A sport where fellow hunters shoot together to compete against each other and self. Our lodge is the ideal place for guests to hone their skill or just relax with fellow shooting enthusiasts.
