RE: Shoot or Pass
After I re-read the "setting" of the events, I guess it could be a borderline shot and after re-thinking it, the ONLY way I would take it is if it were less than 28 yards. If it was an eye to eye, 10 - 15 - 20 yard shot I would take it. 30 yards, and an slight miss hit and you have just wasted a magnificent animal.

RE: Shoot or Pass
I think the shot is makeable for a good bowhunter that has the confidence in himself/herself and their equipment. Double lung even the biggest of creatures, and they won't travel unrecoverable distances. That said, my target panic would probably creep in on me so I'd just throw down the bow and chase him down on foot with my Bowie knife!
