Can a convicted felon purchase a hunting license or hunt in Wisconsin?
A convicted felon can purchase a hunting license in Wisconsin, but it is illegal for a felon to possess any type of firearm, including a muzzle loader. A convicted felon cannot be a member of a group deer hunting party, nor may a convicted felon tag a deer in a group deer hunting party. Absent any other prohibition (such as a court order), a felon would be able to hunt under the authority of an archery license.
