Not worth the risk for me. If I don't get a high percentage shot, I don't shoot. Simple as that. 

How high is that ?  I go at 90 %

I only shoot if it is 91 %.....

High enough to KNOW I'll make the shot. Broadside or quartering away,  up's the percentage exponentially. 

Been playing the game long enough to know, even with good high percentage shots, things can go wrong with archery gear. I have no problem at all letting deer walk, if I don't get the shot I want.

No one guides my arrows but me.

Obviously, whitetails are wild animals and don't necessarily take the "beaten path" all the time. One reason I try not to put up a stand within 18-20yrds of any known travel routes/paths. My heart & nerves can't take TOO many encounters of BBs walking directly at my stand w/o having a shot.

I hunt on the ground too.  Depends on the range.  If I'm real close (under 20 yards),  and everything lines up, I'll probably take the shot.  Take out on lung at least.

Nope on the quartering too. Hopefully you have other shooting lanes and if it is quartering to that means it is coming closer? Worth the wait and not worth the risk.

To me that’s why I don’t shoot . One lung hits are not for me .

Low probablity shot for me so its a no from me. Now if a big buck walks up and gives me that shot, I hope I can pass. I did pass my biggest buck 2 years ago becuase it gave me a quarter too shot and I wasnt comfortable with it
