[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 1974981, member: 26077"] Moose are huge but you still have to hit them in the right pace. A badly hit moose can go a VERY long ways, no matter how big a gun or what bullet you have used. That said, a gun that will do a 3" group at 200 yards is adequately accurate. Bad hits are almost always the shooter. Patience to wait for the right shot, and learning well the anatomy of your target are far more important than most other factors hunters spend so much time obsessing about. I doubt that 1 in 10 hunters have studied the internals of the game they are hunting for the first time. You see this a lot with people hunting in Africa. They do the high behind the shoulder shot common to Whitetail and wonder why the animal runs away. If you look at the inards of most African game you will see just how different they are built to North American Game..
