Not with a firearm.
This is what I was told by a federal game warden it is not illegal for a felon to hunt with a black powder gun or a standard bow. A crossbow is illegal. A crossbow, shotgun, rifle, or any handgun it is illegal for a felon to possess.
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
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.
yes but not any kind of firearm
no
no
In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
A cross bow may not be allowed by the state for anyone. You are probably on safer ground with a bow and arrow. Check in with the caseworker before getting involved in either.
The Second Amendment of the Constitution does not protect convicted felons.
being a former federal fire arms license holder i can say that in the state of Georgia you cannot hunt with any firearm you can hunt with a bow or a crossbow and this is accectipable in most other states
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
An ex-convict and an ex-felon are not the same thing. An ex-felon is someone who was convicted of a felony, but the conviction was later overturned - thus, they are no longer a felon. An ex-convict is someone who was convicted, sentenced, and has completed their sentence - if they were convicted of a felony, then they remain a felon.Both may hunt in North Carolina. However, an ex-con convicted of a felony charge may not do so with a firearm.
