no
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
I believe that you can do so - however - if you are on probation why don't you just call your PO and ask them?
Yes you can hunt as a convicted Felon in Connecticut, Here is the answer I got from the CT DEP. A convicted felon can possess archery equipment, therefore he can hunt with a bow and arrow in Connecticut. Proof of a bow hunting certification course must be submitted before an archery permit can be issued. Mark Clavette DEP Wildlife Division
The Second Amendment of the Constitution does not protect convicted felons.
It is a federal crime for a convicted felon to possess a firearm. I am not sure if you can bowhunt. Hunting with or possession of a bow or crossbow is a matter of specific state laws. Check the laws specific to the state in which you reside or intend to hunt.
not any place in the U.S.
Bows are not considered firearms .Felons can bowhunt
No, a convicted felon cannot participate in any activity involving a gun. Convicted Felons do not have the right to bear arms. Nor can they vote, or run for office. It is also hard for them to find a well paid job. Most employers will not hire convicted felons. !st, a bow is not a gun. 2nd, a convicted felon CAN vote, once they are off paper, (released from all supervision) Don't know about running for office... seems they would fit right in though. 3rd, there are well paying jobs out there for convicted felons, not all employers are so closed minded that they won't give a guy/gal a chance.
They may possibly be permitted to hunt with a bow, but certainly not with a gun. Being in possession of any type of firearm is a violation of Federal Felonly Firearms laws, and is punishable by up to ten years in prison for the gun and each round of ammunition in the person's possession.
I had just got off the phone with the law enforcement at the D.N.R offices and i was told that a felon can hunt with a Bow and Arrow and X-Bow but no type of gun at all not muzzleloader either
A bow is not classified as a firearm in Wyoming, so yes you are able to. Crossbows are a different story as they are classified as a firearm in some states. You would have to check your state laws for that classification, but as long as you do not use a firearm and follow bagging limits and all regulations, yes.
NO, a bow is considered a weapon. Anyone with a felony conviction is not allowed to own or posses any kind of weapon. You have to a foid card to hunt correct and a felony conviction got your foid revoked. Sorry
