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
The Second Amendment of the Constitution does not protect convicted felons.
Bows are not considered firearms .Felons can bowhunt
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
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.
is bow hunting allowed in Maryland for convicted felons
no
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
This would best be anwered by your quick call to the state Fish & Game Commission. Felons are not specifically prohibited from possessing crossbows under the arms statute HOWEVER as a convicted felon if PA prohibits you from possessing ANY 'deadly' weapon you could conceivably be charged.
Yes. Anyone including even convicted felons, are allowed to own a bow in arrow.
not any place in the U.S.
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.
You may NOT hunt with black powder arms. They are specifically classified as firearms under US Code, Title 18, which prohibits their ownership or POSSESSION by convicted felons. For Bow & Arrow - in Oregon it may depend on whether your sentence is complete - or you're on parole - and/or what kind of parole (PPS?). Best to check with your PO (if you have one) or local sheriffs office or state police barracks.
