RAPID CITY, SD - A Highmore pheasant hunting lodge owner has been
sentenced for the unlawful taking of a golden eagle.
Michael Solberg, 43, admitted to killing at least one golden eagle
and 20 hawks since his Grand Lodge opened in September 2008.
He said he shot at the birds in an effort to protect his pheasants
for the hunting business.
Solberg was ordered this week to pay a $1,250 fine and $10,000 in
restitution, and forfeit a Remington Model 700 rifle.
