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.

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
