I think I could have slapped the bull moose I shot in SE Idaho. Get close. 25-06 will kill a moose. Might take a couple more shots than my .338 Win Mag did but each of my shots was lethal though I kept hammering the lungs/heart zone until tipped over as I had a bum leg and did not want to pack any further than necessary. A low lung shot will drain. They have big lungs so a high lung shot may not fill up for a while to start dripping.If you want to stick with your 25-06 get some Barnes or other bonded bullet and use them. Moose are babies and lay down very shortly after being hit. Obviously with 25-06 your probably not going to get an exit so it won’t bleed very well
