Shoot or No Shot #2

And there is the much debated "no kill zone"!  According to the app it's real!

I myself would not take the shot the way the OP presented it.  Too much bone and probably a long blood trail unless I got lucky.  A guy might get an arrow through all that bone, but the blades will be pretty dang dull once they hit the good stuff.  No brush around so you only have to wait a moment and you will have a much better shot resulting in a short blood trail and easy recovery.

Ooops, I thought this was in the bowhunting section   With a rifle I'd take that shot in a heart beat.  325WSM right about the spot JLS marked

with no risk of a face shot here, would anyone consider this shot? rifle? bow? muzzleloader? 
heart and ribs are delicious, but this would "ruin" a trophy, and it also might drop it right into that nasty wallow, considering that mud, Id probably go for heart and lungs, but in some scenarios I might take this controversial shot.

Ever try to drag an elk out of a wallow?  I've never shot one in a wallow but I have had a couple make to one before they went down.  I would encourage folks to try and avoid that.  Besides the fact it's usually full of rutting bull pee, it's not a whole lot of fun
