penalties provided for violating any of the provisions of title 36, Idaho

received a withheld judgment for the illegal killing or the illegal possession
or illegal waste of game animals shall be assessed a processing fee as

    (2)  Deer, pronghorn antelope, fifty dollars ($50.00) per animal killed,
    possessed or wasted.
    (3)  Bighorn sheep, caribou, mountain goat and black bear, seventy-five
    dollars ($75.00) per animal killed, possessed or wasted.
    (b)  In every case of a plea of guilty, a finding of guilt, a conviction
or a withheld judgment, the court before whom such plea of guilty, finding of
guilt or conviction is obtained or who enters a withheld judgment shall enter
judgment ordering the defendant to pay the state in a sum or sums as
hereinbefore set forth including post-judgment interest. If two (2) or more
defendants are convicted of the illegal taking, killing or the illegal
possession or wasting of the game animal, such judgment shall be declared
against them jointly and severally.
    (c)  The judgment shall fix the manner and the time of payment. A

    (d)  All courts ordering such judgments of processing fees shall order
such payments to be made to the department which shall deposit them with the
state treasurer, and the treasurer shall place them in the state fish and game
set-aside account. These fees shall be available for the processing of the
meat of moose, elk, deer, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep, caribou, mountain
goat and black bear which have been illegally taken, accidentally killed,
taken as a result of depredation problems or donated by sportsmen.  The
processed meat thereof shall be distributed by charitable organizations free
