Don't shoot.
I would wait till it turned to offer me a quartering away shot.
To many bad things could happen with the way it is turned and the brush is in the way.

 I would aim right on the tip of that golden rod. Aim small miss small mentality. If I hit the golden rod then it offers no resistance for deflection and it is right on that cow. If I miss...I dont hit it. If I am hunting Elk I am going to have a range finder...so I know the distance. If I know the distance and have that kind of mark, I am going to release while she is preoccupied with that mouthful she is going for right this moment  |

I would not shoot, but for a different reason than is mentioned... The elk is almost looking straight at me - I'd wait. Otherwise, compound - you can lean a bit to the left and get a clear shot, I think. Although, I'd have to be there to really tell. Traditional bow, I'd wait for a very clear shot, and the elk to look away from me.

Like smj, I would wait until she turned her head....then follow BTs lead as far as shot placement...even a touch further back, and a smidge higher.  |
