To all you doubters, I can guarantee moose exist. Here's proof.

Mate I told you when I put you onto that animal that you were not to post photos on the internet because they would recognise the backdrop. Now every bugger in creation will be hunting up the back of Eketahuna. Ha ha ha ha

Searching for NZ moose is akin to Haemorrhoids,you know they're there but you can't see them.

And they taste great

I've killed a bull and cow here in Wyoming. Courser grained and milder flavor compared to elk and deer. The bull was old and tough but the cow was young and tender. I thought they ate great but my wife disagreed.

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.

No, I can honestly say that was shot in the native.

Absolutely - native to North America

Yep

I think its the same camera used to take all those photos of big foot
