    If i recall correctly, it’s because Illinois considers taking a roadkill deer to be “hunting”, so it actually uses up your deer permit which is insane (especially considering not all roadkill occurs during deer season).

    People delinquent on child support are not allowed to hunt cause you could theoretically subsist on hunting and not have a job that produces money.

        Delinquent fathers are not allowed to have gardens in their yards. They have been banned from doing any photosynthesizing as well.

        I mean, if I was already a licensed hunter … and you can get a lot of non-meat food by foraging if you know how.

      Now I’m imagining a naked deadbeat dad pummeling deer to death with his fists and eating the raw flesh. “That’ll show ya Susan!”

      Ahhh I figured it was because that deer rightful belongs to the child. So he could take the deer, but only if he was delivering it to his ex’s house.
