Well, you're close.

Hunting Near Inhabited Dwellings
It is unlawful to hunt or allow a dog to hunt
within 300 yards of an inhabited dwelling
without first obtaining permission of the
owner or tenant of the dwelling. Except: A
100-yard restriction shall apply while trapping,
hunting with bow and arrow, or hunting with
shotgun using shotshells only, or on licensed
game breeding and hunting preserve areas,
on federally owned and managed lands,
on DNR-owned, -managed, -leased or
-controlled lands and areas opera
