Associated Press - August 7, 2008 5:24 AM ET

GULFPORT, Miss. (AP) - Seventeen people have pleaded guilty in federal court to illegal mourning dove hunting in Harrison County last year.

Fines ranged from between $500 and $3,500.

They also were ordered Wednesday by U.S. Magistrate Robert H. Walker not to hunt migratory birds for one year.

Agents from the U.S. and Mississippi Fish and Wildlife services raided a field on September 22, 2007 and filed misdemeanor charges ranging from baiting a field to taking migratory birds over a baited field.
