That my friend is the worst shot you can take.
I know of an instance when the moose went down, the shooter laid his rifle to rest and started toward the downed moose. Suddenly it got up with a ploughed furrow between the eyes, and rage on the brain. The shooter morphed into a sheet of paper and turned sideways and his hunting partner, still with rifle in hand shot past the "paper sheet" (which was now brown) nailing the moose in the brisket rendering him dead. And this was all in less than 20 yards.
Head shot are only a last resort and even then I would pass. Can't think of anything worse than a nice bull moose highassing to the next valley with it's jaw blown away. Unless you're thinking you're helping a grizzly get a easy meal.
