Generally no.Felons lose many of what were their constitutional rights,including the right to vote.
It is against the law for a felon to possess a gun,though many try to sidestep that law by getting a license to hunt with a gun,it's a catch 22,you can get a license to hunt with a gun but is against the law to possess one.

After reviewing the answers already given I see that one major distinction is missing. If you have been convicted of a VIOLENT felony you cannot possess any firearm for any reason. It does not matter who owns the gun. If your crime was a non-violent felony (a la Martha Stewart) then you can possess a firearm. A black powder rifle is not considered a firearm and is generally unrestricted. In some states the seasons are even longer for black powder. Be very cautious of your states law too, because I don't know where you live. And most importantly, never take advise that you get from an anonymous forum.

Cartridge firearms, no. Depending on state law, he may be able to hunt with a muzzleloader, but felons are prohibited on the federal level from being in possession of cartridge firearms.

Sure must be a lot of people out who can no longer hunt. In the state of wisconsin there are currently approx 22000 inmates in the correctional systems here. with another 44000 on probation or parole,.those numbers are a constant year after year,meaning many people can no longer enjoy the shooting sports. I detest legislation that has turned an otherwise misdemeanor charge into felony charge,.intrinsically and morally. If a crime is misdemeanor in nature, no violence occurred, no one was hurt,. but the inJustice system in it wisdom takes opportunity to disarm as many Americans as possible by passing legislation that protects them! from citizens who by nature would not harm anyone unless for their safety. I have a grudge, its building to hatred. for the injustices perpetrated against Americans.

In my state, anyone that comminted a crime involving a weapon or that they beat someone, threatened, or somethinglike that, they cannot legally own a gun, so you cant really hunt without a gun. I would say you could probly go with someone elso and not use a gun, but im not sure.
