Might be worth a try. Bring the kids and let them experience the court and proceedings, lesson learned. If you have a liable and honest explanation the judge might reduce. As some and most have said, you are and will be always guilty for the way you handled the situation. You did wrong, by not putting tags on when caught. Know what is right. I might have gone so far as to push that tag as far down the throat of the Wally and told the F&W to get it out by gutting it. There are always ways to attach a tag and keep it there. Improvise. Sorry it happened and hope it never does again
