To get a fishing license at Dick’s this year, I had to provide photo ID, social security number and telephone number - it was required or no fishing license!
They are collecting way too much information!
I would assume that it is your state Game and Fish Department or its equivalent that requires that information, not the Dick’s store.
If you can go to another place and get one without providing it, Then yeah, I’ll agree with you, They demand too much information, and I’d go elsewhere.
