Where can i see the trail cam pic you speak of Whanahuia?

Firstly - I am no authority on what a Deer/Moose/Elk/Caribou/Eland/Donkey looks like.

For curiosity's sake I took that photo and blew it up and enhanced the contrast - pretty messy, a few points:

A/. curved back, noted

B/. webbing to groin area, prolly normal to all?

C/. nose/muzzle

D/. eye area

E/. these dark blotches seem to me, to be bush in the background rather than part of the animal

F/. over to you....

there is only way thing sure about that photo its a piss poor camera

Well one thing is for sure, the photo is less than good. The appearance of a large rump, shoulder hump, and dark color lead me to think is could be a moose, but impossible to be sure. A "maybe" at best. Moose don't have a webbed groin, not sure what your other arrows are pointing to.

could also be a horse looks a bit like it

When you combine it with 2 moose DNA samples a few years later, the odds of what it is are strongly towards moose.
