"good with a bow" and taking down game for dinner close to town. These kind of things can get you arrested and executed. Historically, the forest around a town is managed by the lord and his sheriff. To prevent deforestation, firewood could only be gathered as deadwood on the ground or what branches that could be pulled down 'by hook or by crook' (that is, branches that are within reach by these means). All game and fish were also the lord's, and to poach them was a capital crime. Robin Hood's Merry Men were all poachers, living large off the fat of the land while evading the Sheriff in his role as Game Warden.
Well, in a relatively lawless fantasy world, maybe firewood and game could be had without penalty by adventurers for reasonable personal use in camps, while large-scale harvesting of game ("monsters") was legal by commission through the Guild.
