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.
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.
In Kentucky, a convicted felon is generally prohibited from possessing firearms, but the laws regarding hunting with a crossbow can vary. As of now, crossbows are not classified as firearms, so a felon may be allowed to hunt with one, provided they have obtained the necessary hunting licenses and permits. However, it is essential for individuals in this situation to consult local regulations or legal counsel to ensure compliance with all applicable laws.
