Yep that is true. Whoever posted this should have looked into that. A bow is not considered a firearm. The same notion is buried in the article. But some states deny "weapons", which a bow is, not just firearms. Don't know about this one. Some also define certain non-firearms to be firearms for the purposes of the law. IIRC some states do that for crossbows for example.

Maybe they’re shooting a friend’s gun. Is that legal?

I just think that there are felons that wouldnt be a problem hunting. I agree, although I'd make it all of them after they'd served there full sentence given by judge or jury. Some of that could be on probation of course, but still after they've successfully completed it, rights should be restored, all of them. If a person is so dangerous they can't be trusted with a firearm, they shouldn't be out walking around, and if they are, a law against them having guns is not going to stop them from having them.
However, the feds disagree with both of us.

Maybe theyre shooting a friends gun. Is that legal? First I'm not a lawyer, but no, to shoot a deer in Wisconsin you have to have a deer tag, which a felon can't purchase. The firearm isn't the issue. Whether a felon can posess a firearm in Wisconsin, I don't know, my guess is he can't.
In Illinois, forget felon, if you don't have an FOID, are a registered firearm owner, pick a firearm up, you've committed a crime in most circumstances, perhaps a felony if a handgun.

Maybe theyre shooting a friends gun. Is that legal? If they can shoot it without possessing it, I suppose, it would be. But even renting a gun for use only in the particular indoor range renting it to them is interpreted as "possessing" it by our FRiends at the BATFE.

Serving a couple years for bouncing checks or embezzlement is, imo, quite different than 20 years for attempted murder, in terms of the risks to society. I do think the system should have a process for regaining gun rights, it could be a function of sentencing, but I'm ok with barring a violent criminal from gun ownership. Of course now we bar everyone.

I think that is why in my first post on this I said it should be determined by the judge and jury if the crime fit barring all future gun and hunting rights.

Not true in many states. Anybody in a hunting party, even if not hunting themselves, has to have a license and any stamps or tags required of hunters. I was in a goose blind with a couple of friends and the warden told me I had to go back to the truck because even though I didn’t have a gun, I also didn’t have any of the papers.

Do the licenses require a stamp to harvest deer? Maybe these guys like stamp art. I buy a hunting license every year just so I can go if the urge hits me during bird season (gun, ammo license is all you really need). But I keep the old licenses because each year’s stamp is really beautiful.

Not in my front yard! They move away if I throw a few stones at them, but otherwise they keep munching on the roses.
Hmmm... venison, right from the front garden...
I know what you'tre talking about. Deer are nothing but hoofed rodents. I shot my last one with a pistol after it ate my papaya's.

Thanks-again it was a a few years ago and I have not had to work with that portion of the penal code so I am not real weel versed in it.
I think I see where the State law can work within this-TX has a punishment class of “State Jail Felony” that falls into 1 to 2 year exception listed

Bows, crossbows, black powder, traps, other methods available.
I know a guy who got a deer with a pocketknife.
