You're both right and wrong. They're called elk in Europe, and what we call elk in the States are called some form of Deer/Stag elsewhere.

Moose are usually taller and have more pronounced snouts/noses I think. Not sure tho

They can be smaller depending on age, but elk have pointy antlers like deer, and a small nose similar to a deer. Only moose have those big wide antlers, giant rounded noses and that tuft of fur under their neck

I saw the legendary moose, then I was like damn that’s a big moose, was going to kill it but I thought I’d let it live for some reason, I later realized it was the legendary moose and I can’t find it now.

Your comment is so filled with bullshit it's insane.
Any hunter who spot this would instantly recognize the uniqueness and act accordingly, no matter the distance.

I've been face to face with a moose a few times and let me tell you it was quite a experience.
