Sorry to turn this political to an ACAB discussion, but given the jackboots we give the right to police our nation under Trump’s AmeriKKKa that doesn’t surprise me one fucking bit.
 
Vote blue. Exercise your right to vote, we live in a society, etc.
 
I hope someone colors this at some point, since I’m pretty busy lately.

It’s worse than that. The DNR has more wide-ranging powers than any other authorities I know of in this state. I’ve heard several accounts of them walking right into the houses and barns of people suspected of taking more deer than they have tags. I’ve seen them follow people across state lines for “moving firewood”…in the quantity of about an armful or two. I’ve been caught speeding by them – that story is truly hilarious, but I’ll spare you the details, other than the fact it was by a pickup truck hauling a tiny boat & trailer.
 
They have a tough job. Of that, I have no doubt. But it feels like a ‘Wild West’ scenario with that brand of law enforcement.

Imagine needing to ask the government for permission to keep a dead body and being denied.  
Imagine you are cooking some fresh armadillo and the feds knock on your door asking to see your “keep the armadillos whom yote themselves in front of your car” loicense.  
Imagine paying a fine because you took meat home.  
Imagine being swatted and put on terrorist watch for dressing an animal.
 
By the good grace of Celestia what a dystopian world we live in.

When you really hate the DNR tagging/quota system, there’s only one way ‘round it.
 
Hell, even that’s not true:  
_{The Michigan Department of Natural Resources requires a person to obtain a free salvage permit to possess wildlife killed in vehicular collisions. The permit cannot be used to possess badger, bobcat, brant, coot, crow, bear cub, duck, elk, fisher, Florida gallinule, goose, marten, moose, otter, snipe, sora rail, spotted fawn deer, Virginia rail, wild turkey, wolf, or woodcock. The driver of the vehicle has first choice to take possession of the game. If the driver leaves it, another individual may take it for salvage. This permit does not apply to an individual who uses a motor vehicle to kill or injure game intentionally.}
