A $1000 fine isn't exactly trivial. It's enough to keep most people from breaking a law, even one they don't agree with. I don't think anything would really be served by confiscating a person's vehicle for the relatively minor crime of shooting a game animal out of season (compared to, say, armed robbery).
The punishment is supposed to be commensurate with the crime. The way some people call for more and more draconian punishments, we'll end up executing people for speeding.
