I would pass on the muley.  He's on to me by the looks of it and I wouldn't want to risk an iffy shot.  Full draw or not, he's going to move much faster than an arrow out of my longbow.

As for the antelope, he's dead.

I would have taken both shots in a heartbeat and tried for a couple of inches lower on each. Good ones!!

For the muley I would aim right where you have it. For the lope since his front left leg is back behind the shrub I would aim about an 1" or 2" behind your spot.

I would take both of those shots. I would just aim lower as has been said before in case they ducked.

Ryan frist things frist which side of the HWY is this mule deer on? It could make a big difference!  ;)  
Assuming it is on the right side of the road I might be one dot lower and 1/2 inch right.
The goat I would wait for a better shot because of the angle. I shot a antelope 1" to the right 1" lower than your dot and it only took one lung out. Luckly the arrow hit the offside shoulder dropping him in his tracks giving a second shoot for quick ending. If you aimed a little futher back it would work fine but will be a messy gut job.

If I wasn't so slow on my reply you would have answered my frist question!   :laughing:
