With any animal I was taught to keep shooting (especially if it has already been hit) until it is down, a moose can sometimes take several shots to drop and sometimes they won't even act like they are hit. Also when you are walking up to a downed animal make sure you have reloaded and keep your eyes on it in case it gets back up.
That being said I can't recall ever needing more than three shots to drop something....one of the biggest mistakes a hunter can make is to shoot once and stop and wait for the animal to drop.
Number of shots taken IMHO doesn't reflect on morals at all...but skill may be lacking.
