It's kind of hard to answer your question without knowing how close your neighbors are, if you live inside city limits, next to a highway, school, etc. Plus, Michigan laws might be very different from other states' laws.

You should ask HNI member cr422--he's a lawyer in Michigan, hunts and is likely very familiar with the applicable laws in your state. He's usually in the Political forum but has a few other forums he frequents too.

You would likely have to research 4 sets of paws for your question for sure. State laws, county ordinances, city ordinances (if you live inside city limits) and your state's fish and game laws.

Your state, county and city laws/ordinances may or may not restrict you from shooting by a neighbor's residence, near a road, in a city, etc. Hunting restrictions should be covered by Michigan's fish and game laws.

In general, fish and game laws prohibit a hunter from shooting an animal within a set distance from somebody else's residence (150 yards in CA for instance). This F&G law doesn't apply to a homeowner hunting on his own property (residence) in CA. Michigan may or may not be different.

This is just generalized info for you to follow up on. Like I said, ask cr422 and he can probably quote you the applicable laws to the letter.

p.s. cr422 is Sachiko's hubby. She could let him know about your question.
