These people levying the fines are the same Environmental types who know nothing about trees or rivers. Here in Mtns they put beavers in areas where none ever existed, and fell trees into creeks at natural parks, so children can’t float down streams. They are kooks raised in city, with no common sense!
My friend you are a bit naive. That money does not go to save the endangered salmon or anything of sort, it goes into a general fund, or to fund their salaries and pensions.

I was up at Rocky Mountain National Park today and noticed large sections of fencing around stands of trees and other vegetation. The Elk in the park are over populated and they refused to let hunters in to thin the herds so they spent millions to put fences around the trees so the Elk wouldn’t eat them. I truly don’t know what goes on in these peoples minds.
