At least for Germany that seems not to be true. From my experience, the required course and the cheapest safe available equal roughly the cost of a drivers license (~4000€). The comparison lacks another crucial detail. Obtaining a hunting license requires a background check. That would be fine if it the check would only pertain criminal record and mental illness. But it doesn‘t. As things stand, being in a non-prohibted (ie legal) right wing party may be an excluding factor. In other words, having the wrong political opinion may prevent you from obtaining a hunting license in Germany, even if you have no criminal record, are not mentally ill and have passed the licensing exam. The same applies for a sport shooting license.
