No one forces you to give out your SS#. You have the choice of not buying a fishing liscence. Fishing is a privilage not a right. As is your drivers liscence. Remember felons do not have the right to vote, hunt, fish, or carry guns. So if you don't want to give out your SS# don't, but don't cry about not fishing. I personally think trying to nab dead beat fathers is a good thing for the state to try to do. How can anyone disagree with that.
