Utah - felons can't bowhunt period.
Nebraska - believe felons can't bowhunt here either.
If you're aware of other states that ban felons from bowhunting, please submit which states those are.
So what are your thoughts? Are you worried about a felon with a bow in the woods?
Non-violent felons, and if they had committed a armed felony, leave it up to the Parole/AG of the State in which they reside. My rule of thumb is, if you let them out and can't trust them around LEGALLY owned weapons, THAN WHY did you let them out in the first place? Just my take on it.
