I have gotten in trouble as well. It was a non-violent crime
however my hunting rights are suspended as of right now as
well. I am an avid bowhunter. They say I can't even do that.
How is it that you got to bowhunt. That's really all that I am
interested in at this point. I know that I can apply for
relief from that federal statute once I am off of probation to
restore my full hunting privileges. However, is there anything
that can be done to restore just my bowhunting privileges right
now? I am in the state of Missouri.

Thanks,

Chad
