I doubt it . A compound bow would be considered a deadly weapon.
NO, a bow is considered a weapon. Anyone with a felony conviction is not allowed to own or posses any kind of weapon. You have to a foid card to hunt correct and a felony conviction got your foid revoked. Sorry
Yes, convicted Felons can Bow hunt in Oregon, provided the felon has completed their Post Prison Supervision, Probation or Parole and been completely discharged from the court/corrections/supervision system... The only reason they can't bow hunt while on supervision is because it is a condition of PPS/Probation/Parole that they cannot possess ANY weapons... A Bow is not a Firearm, and is not treated as one in Oregon; although in 2008 they did place restrictions on Felons owning Antique firearms (there still remains some clarity issues about muzzle loaders amongst law enforcement however)... See ORS 166.170-735 http://www.leg.state.or.us/ors/166.htmlFurthermore there are no laws preventing Felons from obtaining hunting/fishing licenses/tags (General Bow Hunts include Buck/Deer/Elk/Pronghorn/Grey Squirl and Special Bow hunts are available for Bear/Cougar/Bighorn/Mtn Goat)... 2009 Oregon Big Game Regs (pdf) http://www.dfw.state.or.us/resources/hunting/big_game/regulations/2009biggameregsweb.pdf
No, because the Colorado Division of Wildlife defines bows as "any other weapon." The following statement was issued by the division in January 2011: Colorado State Law was amended in 1994 to prohibit the possession of a firearm or other weapons (pursuant to Colorado Revised Statutes Title 18, Article 12). It was also amended in 2000 to make such possession a class 6 felony instead of a class 1 misdemeanor. The beginning wording of CRS 18-12-108 is: (1) A person commits the crime of possession of a weapon by a previous offender if the person knowingly possesses, uses, or carries upon his or her person a firearm as described in section 18-1-901 (3) (h) or any other weapon that is subject to the provisions of this article subsequent to the person's conviction for a felony, or subsequent to the person's conviction for attempt or conspiracy to commit a felony, under Colorado or any other state's law or under federal law. CRS 18-1-901(3)(h) adds the following provision that covers muzzleloaders and shotguns: 18-1-901(3)(h) "Firearm" means any handgun, automatic, revolver, pistol, rifle, shotgun, or other instrument or device capable or intended to be capable of discharging bullets, cartridges, or other explosive charges. Because 18-12-108 includes "firearm... OR ANY OTHER WEAPON that is subject to the provisions of this article", it also includes 'dangerous' and 'deadly weapons'. It is the interpretation of the Attorney General and the Division of Wildlife that bow and arrow are dangerous and deadly weapons, therefore, not allowed for possession of persons convicted of a felony.
No. See this thread from a PA gun organization website:http://forum.pafoa.org/general-2/39531-can-felon-hunt-black-powder-rifle.htmlAccording to a member that goes by GunLawyer001 ...Gun shop employees and police officers are notorious for not knowing the firearms laws.If we read the actual law it seems pretty clear to me.Your felony conviction prohibits you from possessing firearms per 18Pa.C.S.§6105(http://paopencarry.org/uniform-firearms-act#6105)Paragraph (i) defines "Firearm" for that section as follows.Sorry, but my understanding of the above is that no, you can not.There's always archery, which IMO is more fun anyway.This is all perfectly correct, and I say this as a licensed member of the PA bar. In case that Official Stamp of Approval helps anyone.
Hunting albino deer is illegal in Wisconsin because they are considered a rare and special natural phenomenon. The state aims to protect these unique animals from being targeted by hunters to help preserve their population and genetic diversity. Additionally, hunting albino deer is seen as unethical and goes against the state's wildlife conservation efforts.
No. A convicted felon cannot hold a shotgun in ANY state. If they have gone thru the process for restoration of rights, and the conviction was for a STATE crime, they could. Federal crime- no restoration of rights possible.
Not with a firearm, unless you have had your firearms rights restored - IF Utah offers that option to you.
not any place in the U.S.
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
Can a fell on Deer hunt in the state of Ohio with the muscle odor
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
If you are a state-convicted felon, possibly, depending on the laws of your state. CHECK THEM CAREFULLY.If you are a federally-convicted felon, NO, black powder arms are included in the list of firearms to which you are not allowed access per USC, Title 18.
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.
Lynda Mullaly Hunt was born in Florida.
As a nebraska resident I called game and parks. The interpretaion of nebraska law regarding this varies from county attorney to county attorney. Call the county attorney of residence first to see if you can own one and then the county you are going to hunt in. For example in ottoe county it is permissable to own and hunt with a bow.
In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
no
