Cheese holes must have a certain size?

That’s easy enough. Just keep all the mice in one size range.

The only reason I could see for a restriction on bowfishing beyond hook fishing is that if you catch a fish with a hook or net which you aren't allowed to take based on size or species you can toss it back into the water to live a happy (although pierced) life. Bow or spear fishing will kill the fish, so you better make sure it is a legal fish before you jab it.

Finally! Take away some of those regs instead of just constantly piling on more!

So, if Wisconsin is representative of all states, that 600,000 pages of regulations, plus who knows how many pages of Federal regulations.
