At least in Minnesota, that money that hunters pay goes directly to the DNR which funds conservation. The DNR does not collect from the General Fund taxes.
"“Most of what we do is funded by the anglers who buy licenses and stamps,” said Peterson. “The state’s General Fund does not pay for fish management. Legacy Amendment tax revenues have yet to contribute in a significant way, either."
