Depends on the laws in that state, and the type of muzzle loader. Under Federal law they cannot use a gun with 209 primers (shotgun primers) as the primers are considered ammunition. In some- but NOT all states, they can hunt with a caplock or flintlock.

In the U.S. a convicted felon may not own or posses a gun.
In Virginia, a felon may be able to use a muzzleloader to hunt, but it depends on the nature of their conviction. Under state law, individuals convicted of a felony are generally prohibited from possessing firearms, which includes muzzleloaders classified as firearms. However, if the felony conviction is older and has been expunged or if the individual has received restoration of their rights, they may be permitted to hunt with a muzzleloader. It is essential for individuals to check their specific legal status and consult with legal authorities if unsure.
NC DOJ (attorney general's office) says that a convicted felon shall not posses a handgun (any kind of pistol), weapon of mass destruction, or a rifle with a barrel length less than 26 inches.
no they can not. I am trying to get my brothers hunting rights restored. you have to petition the circuit court to have rights restored... .. good luck
A felon can not hunt with a gun or bow in Georgia.
The short answer is, if you are a felon, you can't own or possess a gun.
Please verify with the NY State Game Commission- and the answer seems to be "maybe". NY does not consider an "antique" to be a firearm. The term Antique includes muzzle loading caplock or flintlock rifles and shotguns, and present day reproductions of them. However, a modern, in-line, 209 primer type muzzleloader CANNOT be used by a felon under FEDERAL law. That prohibits a felon from possessing "ammunition"- and ammunition includes 209 shotshell type primers (but not #11 percussion caps). Some state laws permit possessin of a muzzleloader by felons, some do not- so please verify with your state.
It is always best to consult a lawyer that is familiar with the local gun laws, or even the local prosecutor.
In Minnesota i dont know for sure But i Wisconsin its a No they claim that the muzzleloader is a firearm.
