If I am convicted of a Federal crime, am I permitted to hunt?

If I am convicted of a Federal crime, am I permitted to hunt?

An individual convicted of a felony offense is prohibited from possessing a firearm under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(1), but is not prohibited from hunting consistent with state regulations.

Probation/supervised release conditions typically prohibit the possession of a dangerous weapon. Therefore, hunting with bows and/or black powder is generally not permitted.
