Hunting with a felony

[DuaneC1959]

What is the law regarding a convicted felon and hunting in TN . Are they able to hunt with a bow or muzzleloader?

 

[Biggun4214]

State Attorney General says muzzleloaders and firearms are not allowed.

So Bow Hunting is ok?

If I could only carry an archery piece, Id save up and invest in one of those short compact high speed crossbows.

I've always thought you can bow hunt all deer season long. I'd also look into those powerful air guns to see if those might be an option.

I'd talk to the lawyer that handled the case. There's a lot more on the line than just a ticket.

not in Tennessee. There's no air-gun allowance here yet.

There may be conditions of parole or probation that affect someone's ability to even carry a knife.

Opinions are not laws.

 

[WTM]

the law was amended after that opinion for antique firearms and muzzleloaders. violent felonies=no, non-violent felonies=probably.

best to talk with your lawyer.

It is felon specific, one broad yes or no doesnt cut it. Better see you lawyer and parole officer for more specific answers to your case

Research. You'll be able to answer that question in about 2 min. This is a "letter of the law" issue, not "spirit of the law". Don't trust anyone's opinion or knowledge. Do YOUR research and speak to a TN attorney if you can't find the answer.

I'm not an attorney but I've "met" a few felons
