Maybe a $5k fine for this guy was pointless. Maybe he didn't have the ability to pay said fine. Which would only bring more fines and penalties that he couldn't / wouldn't be able to pay back. All just costing the court and taxpayers more money. Or maybe he is loaded and the $5k would just be a drop in the bucket for him.
I don't know anything else about it, but maybe this was less a "look at me" by the judge and he weighed everything and felt this was the best case for future deterrent for this individual.
Also, we don't know if this is the first time this guy has had a run in or not.
You are probably correct though and the sentence will be changed or dropped in lieu of the payment of the estimated fine he will be faced with.

He faces an estimated fine of $18,050, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife, in addition to five deer hunting season weekends in jail.

The fine is not the key.
How are stupid weekends in jail any different than taking the guys license away for 5 years?
1. His license is suspended for 5 years. Therefore, it is illegal for him to hunt. Ie, no need for the look at me "weekend jail time" sentence. If he gets caught hunting with a suspended license he will be sentenced to further penalties, etc.
2. If the judge deemed the suspended license was not enough then, sentence the man to a prison term as well. But make it an actual term, not a look at me weekends only over 5 years term.
Any way you slice this up, the judge is a dip shite "look at me" trying to generate some headline instead of actually trying to deter this moron from illegal hunting activities.

5 seasons is dumb. Make him forfeit next season and pay a fine.
