I remember we had this posted in the Dog House when it happened? This is the outcome. I'm deeply saddened that this is all he got. :( Has anyone that listens to country music noticed that their radio station doesn't play much Mongomery-Gentry music anymore? I know mine doesn't. :( :( :(
Singer Gentry Sentenced in Bear Killing
Published: 2/27/07, 11:05 PM EDT
DULUTH, Minn. (AP) - Troy Lee Gentry, of the country singing duo Montgomery Gentry, has been sentenced to three months of probation and a $15,000 fine for killing a captive black bear. He also must give up hunting in Minnesota for five years.
Gentry pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in November. Under a plea deal, he agreed to forfeit the bear and the bow he used during the hunt near Sandstone. The 600-pound bear has been part of a taxidermy display at Gentry's home in Tennessee. He was sentenced Friday.
The bear was killed in October 2004 at the 80-acre Minnesota Wildlife Connection. Owner Lee Marvin Greenly sold the bear for $4,650 and orchestrated the hunt, which Gentry videotaped and edited to make it appear the bear had been killed in a fair chase hunt, according to authorities.
Montgomery Gentry, which includes co-singer Eddie Montgomery, are known for hits such as "My Town" and "If You Ever Stop Loving Me."
