It is very common for lung shot deer or elk torun a bit after being lungshot with most cartridges.A moose is larger but they are much easier to kill as they usually just stand until they drop or bed down a short distance way.Considering their size,I find moose the wimps of the deer family.

It never ceases to amaze me how resilient some of these animals can be. I have had perfect shots on several animals that had me second guessing myself on the shot placement. They seem to get that sudden adrenaline rush that takes them much farther than by rights they should be able to.

Glad to hear that you found the animal though.
