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
Not if their deferred sentence is for a felony crime.While SERVING the sentence you are still convicted of the offense. The sentence is only erased (IF it is erased) AFTER the successful completion of it. Until the sentence is erased you are still a convicted felon.
Yes, in Florida, a felon can hunt with a compound bow as long as their hunting rights have been restored. It is important for felons to check with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to ensure they are legally allowed to hunt.
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
A person must be 16 to get a hunting license in upstate NY.
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.
not any place in the U.S.
can a convicted felon hunt deer with a bow or a gun
Not with a firearm.
no
no
In the state of Missouri Its perfectly legal to hunt with a black powder rifle during deer season. In all counties
In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
The Second Amendment of the Constitution does not protect convicted felons.
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
An ex-convict and an ex-felon are not the same thing. An ex-felon is someone who was convicted of a felony, but the conviction was later overturned - thus, they are no longer a felon. An ex-convict is someone who was convicted, sentenced, and has completed their sentence - if they were convicted of a felony, then they remain a felon.Both may hunt in North Carolina. However, an ex-con convicted of a felony charge may not do so with a firearm.
A convicted felon may not purchase, possess, or have access to firearms. Period. That's federal law, and covers the whole of the United States.
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.
