You may NOT hunt with black powder arms. They are specifically classified as firearms under US Code, Title 18, which prohibits their ownership or POSSESSION by convicted felons. For Bow & Arrow - in Oregon it may depend on whether your sentence is complete - or you're on parole - and/or what kind of parole (PPS?). Best to check with your PO (if you have one) or local sheriffs office or state police barracks.
First, is it legal to own a black powder cannon anywhere in the U.S.? Muzzleloading cannons built prior to 1898 and replicas are legal under Federal law. Second, is it legal to own a black powder cannon in Oregon? I can find no specific prohibition in Oregon statutes or caselaw. Of course, I would recommend speaking with an Oregon attorney prior to actually buying one.

To the best of my knowledge unless you are a convicted felon you can own a black powder gun.
If he was convicted in state court - not without having his record expunged by the state of AZ - If he is a felon convicted in a FEDERAL court he can never be eligible to own or possess a firearm including black powder weapons.
Am unfamiliar with which of the states MAY allow this, but I can tell you that the FEDERAL LAW (USC Title 18) governing convicted felons and firearms possession specifically names and describes black powder arms as firearms - which are prohibited to convicted felons.
yesAnother View: Refer to 18 USC, Sections 921 & 922 which specifically define black powder arms as FIREARMS which are prohibited to convicted felons.In addition: Black powder itself is classified as an explosive, the possession of explosives is prohibited to convicted felons as as well.
It is FEDERAL Law that classifies black powder weapons as firearms. . . and therefore, prohibited to convicted felons.
If you are a state-convicted felon, possibly, depending on the laws of your state. CHECK THEM CAREFULLY.If you are a federally-convicted felon, NO, black powder arms are included in the list of firearms to which you are not allowed access per USC, Title 18.
