Yes, convicted Felons can Bow hunt in Oregon, provided the felon has completed their Post Prison Supervision, Probation or Parole and been completely discharged from the court/corrections/supervision system... The only reason they can't bow hunt while on supervision is because it is a condition of PPS/Probation/Parole that they cannot possess ANY weapons... A Bow is not a Firearm, and is not treated as one in Oregon; although in 2008 they did place restrictions on Felons owning Antique firearms (there still remains some clarity issues about muzzle loaders amongst law enforcement however)... See ORS 166.170-735 http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/166.html

Furthermore there are no laws preventing Felons from obtaining hunting/fishing licenses/tags (General Bow Hunts include Buck/Deer/Elk/Pronghorn/Grey Squirl and Special Bow hunts are available for Bear/Cougar/Bighorn/Mtn Goat)... 2009 Oregon Big Game Regs (pdf) http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/regulations/2009biggameregsweb.pdf

Only in bow season. NOT rifle, shotgun, or black powder! It makes no difference what state you live in, it is a violation of FEDERAL law (USC, Title 18) for a convicted felon to EVER own or possess firearms or ammunition.

No. A felon may not purchase, possess, or be allowed access to firearms or ammunition for ANY reason, period.

A felon is not allowed to own a firearm under federal law.

(Due to unconstitutional stretching of the Commerce Clause, if you ask me.)
