You're right, it should've been a stronger penalty. However, they couldn't have taken his vehicle or anything. They have to catch them in the act for that. They can only confiscate what items were used DURING the hunting of the illegal deer. The DNR couldn't prove if he was even using his vehicle when hunting, or what firearm, etc...... The state won't waste the money to do expensive pherensic tests for a single deer.
I imagine if it were multiple deer, like a dozen or so, then they could justify the money for the tests. It costs thousands of dollars to do those tests.
