Michigan:
Safety zones are all areas within 150 yards of an occupied building, house, cabin, or barn or other building used in a farm operation. No person, including archery and crossbow hunters, may hunt or discharge a firearm, crossbow or bow and arrow in a safety zone, or shoot at any wild animal or wild bird within a safety zone, without the written permission of the owner or occupant of such safety zone. The safety zone applies to hunting only. It does not apply to indoor or outdoor shooting ranges, target shooting, law enforcement activities or the discharge of firearms, crossbows or bow and arrow for any non-hunting purpose.

Can sit up on the house if ya want here as long as ya got permission. However if not you must remain 500 yards from all occupied farmsights as well as livestock. This law cost me a big boy last year. Was driving home from huntin 10 miles north. Seen this buck 150 yards away up on the hill slammed on the brakes, holy chit thats the biggest deer i ever seen, gotta be a mulie hey. Turned its head nope 100% pure booney whitetail whipped into the guys house who was 200 yards away, he gave me the nod to take the buck. Ran back on foot and he was gone. Spent the rest of the day and the rest of the season in fact looking for him but no dice. Kicked myself but you know the one time you don't ask and shoot thats when ya get busted, better safe than sorry not worth it.
