Legal to Hunt with a felony??

[Shelby County Switchback]

Now I know that you probably hear this often, but it truly is for a buddy of mine....

This buddy was convicted roughly 4 years ago of a D felony. It was absolutely not a violent crime nor was it drug related...

He has grown up hunting and since his conviction, he is under the impression that he cannot do any kind of hunting.

I thought I read a statute saying that as long as his conviction was not a CLASS A or B Felony, then he should be able to obtain or own a firearm..

So, can you please tell me if he is legally able to carry a firearm for hunting purposes.....also.....is a bow considered to be a firearm?

Thank you for your time........Please feel free to send me a personal message so that I know you have responded.
Thanks again.

The classification of the felony has nothing to do with whether he can now hunt with a firearm or not. It depends on what the felony conviction is for. PM me with more info and I will be able to answer your question.
