The answer is simple, and exactly what I do:

If you don't like the price go somewhere else.

Your scenario overlooks the fact that the state you're hunting in gets federal matching dollars via Pittman-Roberst taxes and others for each licence that they sell, you're asking them to give up major revenue. Do you also complain about the ramp fee at the out of state lake you want to use, but don't support with your taxes? How about the entry fee for that state park or WMA you're also not supporting? It's pretty selfish of you to complain about such small costs for recreation when you aren't paying the rest of the tab.
