Suppose I go and complain about the trailer inspection, which is a LA requirement that most other states do not see the need for. They'll tell me I'm in the wrong place and that I've wasted my time.

Suppose I complain about the silly rule about not even possessing lead shot while duck hunting. Again, I'm in the wrong place and wasted my time.

Suppose I complain about getting cited for possessing a redfish 5 miles out. They probably won't even be able to determine if I'm in the right place or not.

One of the pernicious features of big gov't is there are so many different bureaucracies whose regulations, permitting, $$$, and paperwork requirements need to be simultaneously satisfied when doing a single thing.

I've had an opportunity to move to 7 different states in my adult life. Complying with each state's income tax requirements (state tax return, estimated taxes, etc.) has actually been much simpler (less paperwork, fewer departments, fewer checks, fewer personal appearances, much less total time etc.) in each case than complying with each state's hunting or fishing requirements.

Are you telling me that it is right and reasonable that hunting or fishing should have more burdensome requirements than paying income taxes?
