Trying to find out where we can go, call, etc... to find out where or even how to restore our hunting rights after a felony conviction. Is it even possible after a conviction? If it is please direct us in the right direction.

If you're a convicted felon, you cannot hunt in the USA with a firearm. However, you can hunt with a bow or a weapon that is not designated as a firearm. Basically any weapon manufactured before 1898 is not a firearm as far as the US Gov't is concerned. A blackpowder rifle is not considered a firearm. The only option available to you if you are a convicted felon is to have your rights restored by the state,expungment in certain cases, or by the US gov't, which ain't gonna happen, since Klinton & company got a law passed which does not allow the BATFE to spend any money on reviewing the status of convicted felons in order to regian their 2nd amendment rights... Guess you're SOL. Pick up a bow or a smokepole, and learn how to use it.

Since a felony conviction precludes you from being in possession of any firearm, you'll either have to take up bow hunting, or seek an expungement and restoration of your rights through the court.

You don't deserve it. Get over it. Be grateful that you're in society and enjoy that as it is.
Personally, I hope you never do get any hunting rights. There's a reason for that law and if you're rehabilitated - you would realize and accept it. If you don't understand why that law is in place - you absolutely shouldn't have that right.

Hunting is a privilege, not a right.
As a convicted felon, you have permanently surrendered that privilege.
I don't feel bad for you, it was your choice.

suitable, i visit't write with my left hand in any respect! yet I do an outstanding form of issues with my left hand, apparently i'm left hand eye co-ordinated. Or suitable, whichever is the different of what suitable handers should be! I open doors, carry bags and do maximum stuff with my left hand.
