We weren't given the option if the animal would see us or not, With a compound, you can hold at full draw for a very long time, advantages of let off. I take any of those buck's with a compound, it would have to be a matter of how practiced I am or not if I would take the shot.
If I practice diligently, I am quite confident and most capable of making a 20 yard shot on any of those buck's, resulting in a clean kill. If It came down to tracking, I have tracked for many hours before, when my dad made a bad rifle shot, so it's something I am quite used to and I would not give up on finding the deer. If this is a measure of ethics, Everyone of those shots is quite ethical. On the third picture, it's a matter of 2 very large hams, you are looking at about 4" of ribcage I would say. You can take the shot for the ribs, and very easily take out one or both lungs, maybe even a heart shot. I don't use mechanical broadheads mind you so I don't think these angles are all that bad.
good shooting.
