Should have been fined at least five times that much.

The fines for major game violations are laughable and do nothing to deter these scumbags.

I remember sitting in the old Wishbone restaurant off 59 near Eutaw around 35 years ago. Some scumbag at a nearby table was bragging to his buddy about getting busted for shooting the mechanical deer on more than one occasion. He was laughing about it and saying that it wouldn't stop him.

Big fines
Jail time for repeat or egregious offenders
Confiscate trucks, guns etc used in commission of the crimes.

That's how to protect the resources.

Assholes like this guy do more harm than 10 guys in a hunting club with corn piles and cameras.
