Also be aware the hump on a Moose can be deceiving. Aim for the lower third!
The principal reason I like Darren's plan so much is the care he took in making an accurate representation of the vitals.
I chose to use it as an outline, highlighted only slightly in the same color as my paint scheme. It's really not visible until you're next to the target, so the setup forces you to locate that spot you're talking about. Screw up the shot and it's very obvious once you walk up to the target.
I have broadside shots back to 20 yards and a nifty quartering away shot back to 25, with the opportunity for threading shots through woody vegetation of various diameters and heights. Short of throwing blunts at live moose (NOT advocating that!), I'm hard-pressed to see how to improve on Darren's target plan as I get ready for this hunt. (I do a lot of roving as well, BTW.)
