To add to what TexasFats wrote, some years later, the Congress proposed to lift the tax and sportsman literally howled! They didn't want the tax removed. It was working and they wanted it to keep working.
So what we have is a very compelling governmental interest (keeping game at levels sportsmen could live with) that narrowly tailored a law (a tax used to manage game) and has the least effect on a right (hunting) in relation to the interest of the government.
As long as the Congress keeps their hands off of this revenue stream, the tax meets strict scrutiny.
