Default RE: Shooting a Bow in your back yard Illegal?!

Here is Bessemer, MI. it is Illegal to Hunt in city limits... Michigan law is stated.. You cannot DISCHARGE A WEAPON within 450 ft of any occupied dwelling unless you have permission from the owner.. Our city has an Ordinance against hunting in city limits, I am ASSUMING that is because it is the cities ordinace to not allow discharging of a weapon in city limits...

Everyone I know shoots there bows in there back yards...
And I know LOTS of people who bowhunt in city limits...

The Bessemer Board is now thinking about allowing bow hunts in city limits because of the size of the deer heard and the people complaining about the deer.. What really TURNS MY CRANK is the same people that complain about all the deer and want something done about it, are the same frickin people that WONT let you hunt there property.. wether they fall in city limits or not...
