Hunter Gets The Right To Bear Arms Again - - Via Presidential Pardon

Farmer and hunter Leslie O. Collier noticed wild turkeys on his property, and as a measure to ensure their survival as a flock, spread poison to kill predators. A misdemeanor, the poison became a felony when two Bald Eagles succumbed to it. Collier, as a convicted felon, lost his right to keep and bear arms. President Bush, through presidential pardon, has restored it.

Collier is again in the woods with a hunting rifle, hoping to provide meat for his family.



Good story from the New York Times with a neutral point of view.
