Study the pic's and form your own opinion.

Here's a couple of pictures of juvenile moose to give some reference:


Thsi young moose is from a similar angle.




Another junvenile Moose photo.




IMO: The photo is of a young Red Deer with it's face close to the lens, which gives some distortion of shape. I doubt it's a Moose.
Be nice if it was, but I don't think so.

Only moose pics there are the bottom two

I saw the TV program about 8 years ago which showed the video clip of an animal with its head hidden but the body was so different from a deer - hump on shoulder, bow in back, tall & leggy etc. All the other clips of deer were so different.

DNA on hair found in the area and the big branches stripped & broken were considered typical moose feeding signs.

Yeah, I haven't dismissed the possibility of Moose still being in Fiordland (Even been there for a look: Seaforth & Herrick Creek, also done a little flying in that area.)
However IMO the current picture is not a moose but a Red Deer.

Nah...I thinks thats a deer.

thats the best shocked red deer picture on a trail cam I have ever seen

not a moose

Nope that's a deer.

bottom 2 pics look like moose
