It is a federal offense for a convicted felon to own or POSSESS firearms anywhere, under ANY circumstances. (USC, Title 18) Being "around" or hunting "with" persons carrying firearms puts him in "constructive" possession of a firearm. Ask yourself, 'Would a "reasonable" person believe that someone went out in the field hunting with others even though he had no weapon?' I doubt it. I wouldn't risk it.

First of all I would like to say that Texas laws are different than most in the lower 48. I know in SC NC TN GA and KY yes you can bow hunt. You can even use a muzzle loader. Wtth the advancements in muzzle loaders you're not at any disadvantage either.

Yes, ex-cons can fish in texas. Hunting maybe an issue unless you bow-hunt...

I live in Oregon and have an old felony from 1982, because I have been trouble free for 10 years, I can even hunt with long guns again. I just can't buy or sell guns.

I doubt it. But certainly check with the local authorities or your P.O. if you still have one. Most state a convicted felon cannot own a fire arm. But again this is state specific.

None, unless you are a first felony offender and have had your right to possess a firearm restored through the ATF.

Can a convicted felon hunt with a bow and arrow in Utah?

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.

Can a convicted felon bow hunt in South Carolina?

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.
