Pine River Sportsman’s Club added $300, Izaak Walton League added $250 and Westshore Sportsmen and Shoto Conservation added $200 each. Both the Maribel and Francis Creek Sportsmen added $100 each. The eagle was shot in December of 2018 and the DNR is part of the investigation into the death of this federally protected bird.
