So you have to ask if it's a vilonet felony as difeinde by Indiana law.
Indiana firearms season includes the use of Shotguns, handguns, muzzle loading rifes, muzzle loading pistols, and pistol cartridge rifles. Muzzle loading season includes the use of muzzle loading rifes and muzzle loading pistols. As long as the equipment meets the regulations.
Can a person with a felony own a black powder gun or a bow and arrow in the State of Indiana?
He needs to ask a LEO, probation officer, parole officer, game warden, etc. Technically, black powder and archery equipment are NOT considered firearms, as they do not require a background check when purchasing them.
Also, if he is a felon, he cannot even be in possession of a firearm.
If you cant legally own a gun you cant legally possess it either. So its not an ownership issue. Check your local laws most likely a muzzle loader is out, as far as a bow depends on state to state.
Ask your parole officer.

Why does he have to own the gun to go hunting?
There is nothing wrong borrowing one from a friend or relative.
And if he gets a blackpowder gun he has to hunt in muzzleloader season only. Also the same goes for a bow, archery season only.
