I know a lot of heavily independent, Trump supporting guys who would never fuck around with the hunting/gaming/fishing commission.
Hunting outside of season or with an illegal to hunt with weapon can get your gun confiscated and a major fine and a multi year / lifetime hunting ban.
The rules are usually around wildlife protection and safety of others. For example, in most states you can’t hunt with 223 or 556 because it is too small a caliber to kill an animal or prevent it running away if hit, to die later of internal injury.
Everyone’s calculus comes out differently, and everyone has to make their own decisions, but the end result of always following all the rules is an ever increasing list of rules some loser hundreds of miles away will keep demanding that you follow.
This is how we got to the 2a battleground being over the right to carry or whether we can own rifles based on how scary they look to pansies.
This is how we became conditioned to sit at an empty intersection just because the light is red.
This is how we allowed ourselves to be forced to wear stupid masks in public even if we are perfectly healthy.
The state is supposed to be subjected to us, not the other way around.
With that being said I don’t disagree with some of the various hunting restrictions unless it is truly a case of subsistence hunting on private property in which case the government can fuck off.

The law is usually that the animals themselves are owned by the public, and just because they’re on your private land doesn’t mean you can hunt them out of season, etc.
But anyone subsistence farming isn’t going to get caught.
Hunting laws are usually very based. You can’t use an 5.56 AR15 because of animal cruelty, but you can use an AR10/7.62, or a AR15 chambered for .300 blackout.
