No, they are different species. Moose are larger and have shovel like antlers. Deer tend to be smaller and have multipronged branching antlers

Actually moose share the same Family as deer, being Cervidae, and consequently are considered to be the largest member of the deer family in the world, despite the difference in species name from other true deer like White-tail and Mule deer. So yes, moose can be considered a "large deer," though not literally so, because they are not "true deer."
