You know, the first time that I was asked for my SSN for a hunting license I kindly told the lady that legally no one could ever ask me for that. She told me that Wisconsin would only allow me to buy a license if I put my SSN number on the application. Since I just drove 1000 miles to go deer hunting, I provided it. The next year while in Utah for fishing, they gave me the same speil.

It really bugs the crap out of me that they can ask me for this, it is illegal. But since everyone else uses it for keeping tabs on me, I guess whats the problem for one more agencey doing it too.

My feeling are also that if they can find deadbeat dads with this method (majority of hunting/fishing liciences are male) then they should also make all women who apply for a JC Pennies or Old Navy credit card supply them with this info too so we can get our money out of them
