The Department of Natural resources don't set the fines. Even if they could, with the current agenda they are pushing they'd probably lower or get rid of them to make sure the the Division of Wildlife sees limited revenue. And the DOW doesn't set the fines. Local judges get to rule on punishment. Yes there are maximums set by statute but if the judges aren't willing to punish accordingly, these guys will continue to steal and chalk the peanuts fines up to cost of doing business. The people who elect the local judges have the ability to change this by supporting and electing ones who see wildlife crimes in a more serious manner.
