Default When do you draw the line and just Say NO?

So your Hunting and a Great Buck (Antelope, Mule Deer, Elk, ect) is standing at 200yds and He's feeding broadside, you want him bad, the wind is calm, do you shoot or wait untill he comes closer or untill another day?
What is your Maximun Distance where you feel comfortable taking Game and why? I know anything at anytime can happen, but if you feel confident you can make the shot how far will you shoot?
For me I put the distance at around 175yds+ or - and this is of course with a Scoped ML. I can do 1"1/2 groups at 200yds so I feel confident I can make that shot. But first I consider the Wind, What the Animal is doing (say feeding broadisde and is relaxed) if all that comes into play and I have a Solid Rest I'll take that shot.
Also it does'nt matter to me if it's a Meat Doe or a Big Buck, I give em both the same respect they deserve. How about you?
