In dishonorable discharge, you lose your veteran benefits, cannot reenlist, and are often treated as a felon. In bad conduct discharges, you lose your veteran benefits, cannot reenlist, and are often treated as a felon, but you retain your honor.

Can you own a gun with a bcd?

Assuming that bcd is Bad Conduct Discharge, the answer is Maybe. A Bad Conduct Discharge ALONE does not prohibit possession of a firearm. Federal law (18 US Code 922) lists the conditions that WILL prohibit possessing a gun. Discharge from the military under Dishonorable conditions is one. However, a BCD is not a Dishonorable Discharge- it is a Discharge under other than Honorable conditions. HOWEVER- if the BCD resulted from a court martial finding of guilt, AND it was for a felony (punishable by a year or more in prison), then the CONVICTION will prohibit possessing a firearm.

Can you get dishonorable discharged for night hunting wild life?

You would have had to do something REALLY extenuating to get dishonorably discharged for committing a misdemeanor or a civil violation - assuming you're hunting a species it's not legal to hunt at night in the first place. I don't know...hunting with an M-60 machine gun you stole out of the arms room? There are two kinds of punitive discharges: dishonorable and bad-conduct. The only way you can possibly get a dishonorable discharge is as part of the sentence of a general court-martial. The way you normally get a bad-conduct discharge is as part of the sentence of a "BCD Special" court-martial. (Technically a general court-martial can award a bad-conduct discharge, but it's rare: if they're going to the time and effort to conduct a general court-martial they will give you the maximum punishment.) No courts-martial convening authority would bother with convening a GCM to punish night-hunting; he'd send you to the US Magistrate's Court that every base has for exactly this sort of thing. (The US Magistrate also handles things like speeding tickets issued by MPs.)
