[QUOTE="Narcs, post: 280034, member: 542"] People with felony convictions are allowed to fish, absent some kind of special provision imposed by a court or other authority. For example, convictions for certain fish/wildlife crimes can result in loss of fishing privileges for specified periods of time. Make sure your buddy/cousin doesn’t fall into this category.
