Default To shoot or not to shoot...that is the question?

Ok guys, I know all of us hunt in different regions with different genetics with different standards. I personally hunt in NW Missouri near the Iowa border. My good friend and hunting buddy sent me this pic explaining he would crap himself if he saw this. While I agree I think it is a neat thing to see four solid bucks walking together but I told him the only shooter (for us) should be the farthest back buck and that is only with a bow. My question to you fellow hunters is do you agree? I should mention that our goal is to only take bucks that will get us in Missouri Big Bucks, which is a 140 class deer. Its a little hard to tell if he would be but I would say he would be pushing it.
Edit: Sorry guys, I fixed the pic. Photobucket wasn't working at the time.

I'd have to see them a little better, but the 2 in the middle would be the only ones to get any consideration.
