Default Shot selection poll - please post - pictures

Here's the game - 4 pictures, 4 potential shots. Lets assume its the last day of the hunt, and this is it, this shot or nothing. Will you take the shot ? Please answer with a yes or no and if you shoot a compound, recurve, crossbow or longbow.

I'll add this too - shot is 20 yards...

1. Depends on how far it is.
Under 15 yards to be honest, would depend on the monent. Over 15 - no.
2. Yes!
3. No
4. No

Same answers as above.
no, but I know people that would not hesitate with this shot.
maybe
no
no
Except for by the looks of the antlers it is the wrong time of the year and I would go to jail for poaching in Michigan. This is with a compound bow shooting 235 fps.

With my muzzle loader these would be 4 very dead deer out to 100 yards!

To clarify my responses in a previous post about this subject, I was assuming the shot described was of picture #3. And with my bow that just ain't a good shot to me. Now if I had a BK2 with a 500 grn arrow I might try it if I was close.

Number two is the only shot I have full confidence in, so it is the only one I would take.
