I know someone with two DUI's in a year in Indiana. What are the laws that apply to someone with this problem but off parole and or probation. Mainly as far as hunting goes.

Unless they've had a DUI that somehow got trumped up to felony status, they'd be fine to go hunting, and own firearms. Parole is only a factor if you're convicted of a felony, and imprisoned. Probation is not a disqualifying factor for owning or using firearms unless the misdemeanor was a domestic violence charge.

Some of the guys I hunted with are the biggest drunks I know of.

it is a felony can he still hunt bow and black powder

[stickhauler]

Last I knew, felons could use bow & arrow and black powder. The only felony DUI's I'd ever heard of were where there had been an accident, and a vehicular homicide charge as a result of the accident.

Does the DUI carry a -possible- sentence of over a year? If it does, they can't pass a 4473 check.

Do they ask any "criminal background" type questions when issuing a hunting license?

STOP!
Before you get a felon to buy a black powder firearm, realize that only fed law on purchasing is mum on that point. Your state laws will be more specific, and will almost always state that the definition of "firearm" also includes black powder rifles, shotguns and revolving pistols.
Your buddy will know, it should be on the court documents, what type of crime is was, and what the sentence could be. If it is a felony, bye bye rights forever. If it is a misdemeanor not involving domestic violence with a sentence of less than one year, should be OK, BUT, I am not a lawyer. Have him speak to a lawyer in your area conversant with state and federal firearms laws.
