Wait.

Most likely they'll turn, if there's one there you want to shoot. Even if they don't turn, going home without an animal always needs to be on the list of acceptable possibilities.

The only bull that's even close to presenting a good angle is the one on the right, and has been said, the angle will require penetrating a ton of paunch to reach vitals. On that buff, green will skip behind the shoulder and won't even enter the chest. Splitting the front legs puts you at the right edge of blue, but that's not a good option on an unwounded buff. Miss by a couple of inches and you might never find him. Or, he might turn around and get nasty, you never know.

The last day of the hunt is the worst time to wound one. You'll rush the follow up, and that's just asking for trouble.

Quartering away arguably gives you better access to the vitals than a broadside, but the angle needs to be closer to broadside than backside. The one on the right needs to turn another 20 or 30 degrees.
