Most muslims say that just ask and allah forgives so why this? For me I found that as an OT text.

005.095
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! Kill not game while in the sacred precincts or in pilgrim garb. If any of you doth so intentionally, the compensation is an offering, brought to the Ka’ba, of a domestic animal equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or by way of atonement, the feeding of the indigent; or its equivalent in fasts: that he may taste of the penalty of his deed. Allah forgives what is past: for repetition Allah will exact from him the penalty. For Allah is Exalted, and Lord of Retribution.
PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! Kill no wild game while ye are on the pilgrimage. Whoso of you killeth it of set purpose he shall pay its forfeit in the equivalent of that which he hath killed, of domestic animals, the judge to be two men among you known for justice, (the forfeit) to be brought as an offering to the Ka’bah; or, for expiation, he shall feed poor persons, or the equivalent thereof in fasting, that he may taste the evil consequences of his deed. Allah forgiveth whatever (of this kind) may have happened in the past, but whoso relapseth, Allah will take retribution from him. Allah is Mighty, Able to Requite (the wrong).
SHAKIR: O you who believe! do not kill game while you are on pilgrimage, and whoever among you shall kill it intentionally, the compensation (of it) is the like of what he killed, from the cattle, as two just persons among you shall judge, as an offering to be brought to the Kaaba or the expiation (of it) is the feeding of the poor or the equivalent of it in fasting, that he may taste the unwholesome result of his deed; Allah has pardoned what is gone by; and whoever returns (to it), Allah will inflict retribution on him; and Allah is Mighty, Lord of Retribution.
 
Your question is not clear for me!

But if you want English commentary for that verse in Quran, then here is a link for that.

wwolverine, please note that the verse refers to some one who kills some game intentionally, not by mistake or chance.

During Hajj (pilgrimage) it is forbidden to harm any one. There should be complete Peace all around for a few mile radius, for a few months. It is forbidden to uproot any plant too. This verse is telling about any one who intentionally makes a mistake and disobeys a rule, there has to be some punishment.

Allah forgives by repentence too. But here the one who made a mistake will be adjudged whether he is too poor to pay anything. If not too poor then he should be burdened with some fine.

I hope youhave no other problem with the type of recompence etc.

I give you an example. Suppose some one killed a goat intentionally. He has to repent and provide a goat as a sacrifice. Do not think that he/she will get away by giving a goat. Here he/she will be okay by giving a goat. But sin will remain with that person unless he/she repents. That means some punsihment in the next world.
