Time to buy a crossbow. Arrows almost never ricochet and you can always see where they went and they will never "travel up to one mile" after they ricochet.
Some states have no provisions for crossbow use...ie, they're illegal.
Not legal in VA, unfortunately, though there should be a bill introduced before our General Assembly next year to change that.
I live and hunt in Loudoun County. The area I hunt on is safe for a rifle, only because I prefer to stay on high ground and shoot down into streambeds and drainages. Otherwise I'd use either a handgun or a bow.
