I will have to agree with SuperMag on this. The next hunter to take an illegal buck will just leave him there instead of paying a fine that is more than he might make in a months pay. Although I do think the minimal points system is a good idea if you want to improve the overall quality of the bucks in a certain area, I think the fine given to this person is just way to steep, I have never heard of anyone who has POACHED a deer and got a fine like that.
