The Swedes like their 6.5 on moose. Once/twice a year a hunter will get the hell kicked out of him by what he mistook for one in denouement.
In my experience of one meal lousy eatin’.

Always run away downhill from a moose. In trees, if at all possible. Cut the direction closest to a climb able tree once he/ she piles up.
Moms with calves make bears look mild, especially if you surprise them. Like stalking close enough to use a disposable camera. And forgetting to disable the flash.
We’re I to stumble onto a White moose or, well anything animal in the wild, I’d truly feel blessed. Some ass hole will shoot it.
Somewhere I saw a pic of two white killer whales swimming together yesterday. Amazing. God truly does magnificent work.

The 6.5mm is a fine caliber and it will kill anything but it’s still comparable to a .270. It’s strong and quick and sure, you can use a 6.5 on moose, but it’s more of a deer and antelope cartridge that will shine at longer ranges.
I’ve never hunted moose or elk but if I did I believe that I’d prefer, at the very least, a .30-06 with 200-220 grain Partitions because they are much more humane and you might bumble into an aggressive bear.
As for the albino moose, nope, I wouldn’t think of killing him. Moose of Color (MOC) deserve special treatment.
Jack, absolutely agree with your observation on the 3006. Ideal for the man/woman who only wants one gun, capable of doing it all. Quit hunting years ago, prefer observing wildlife in their habitat. Don’t disagree that hunting’s needed.
Here, between the bear coyotes and wolves, we’ve seen a marked reduction in deer antelope and elk. But then isn’t that how it is.

I got a kick out of watching a moose appear in the filed, and 500 yards upfield the bucks jumped up and ran like hell. Moose=authority. I one time had a cow moose in the same field as I, about 300 yards away. She did that thing where they stop, and regard you from one side of their head.

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive in the universe.
Duty, Beauty, Liberty, Country, Honor, Family, Faith — Plus a few simple easy to follow rules for guys
Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it
[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light

Downhill. In trees, not brush.

Don’t mess with moose. Tmj Utah knows.
