Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.
No Maine considers a muzzle loader a firearm...
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

Can a fell on Deer hunt in the state of Ohio with the muscle odor
In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
NC DOJ (attorney general's office) says that a convicted felon shall not posses a handgun (any kind of pistol), weapon of mass destruction, or a rifle with a barrel length less than 26 inches.
no they can not. I am trying to get my brothers hunting rights restored. you have to petition the circuit court to have rights restored... .. good luck
A felon can not hunt with a gun or bow in Georgia.
The short answer is, if you are a felon, you can't own or possess a gun.
It is always best to consult a lawyer that is familiar with the local gun laws, or even the local prosecutor.
Please verify with the NY State Game Commission- and the answer seems to be "maybe". NY does not consider an "antique" to be a firearm. The term Antique includes muzzle loading caplock or flintlock rifles and shotguns, and present day reproductions of them. However, a modern, in-line, 209 primer type muzzleloader CANNOT be used by a felon under FEDERAL law. That prohibits a felon from possessing "ammunition"- and ammunition includes 209 shotshell type primers (but not #11 percussion caps). Some state laws permit possessin of a muzzleloader by felons, some do not- so please verify with your state.
In Minnesota i dont know for sure But i Wisconsin its a No they claim that the muzzleloader is a firearm.
