User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

if a male elk starts attacking you, try to pock the elk eye, before that grab hold of the antlers with on hand and your legs so your other hand pocks the eye. But if a female attacks you, grab hold of the legs when it's kicking you, then kick the stomach. Usually males attack when someones harrasing it and females are less brave then the males but they attack if anyone comes close to their calf.

What are the differences between male and female elk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In most species of deer, only the male grows a yearly set of antlers, while the females have only stubs. However, "reindeer" (caribou), like the moose, occupy their own genus of the deer family and both genders have antlers. In the Scandinavian variety, older males lose their antlers earlier than young males (in December), and only females keep their antlers until summer. (This would mean Santa's reindeer are perpetually young, or female?)

How do you kill an elk on Wolfquest?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Follow the elk symbol on your compass until you are in the area (you can see if you are in the area by pressing the "M" key). Once you are in the area, Press the "V" key. Wander around until you find a path of pink dots. Follow the dots and it should lead you to he herd. Approach the herd carefully, and decide what elk you want to go after before charging right into he herd.

Once you have selected the elk you want to hunt, carefully surround it and try to separate it from the herd. You may press shift to stalk it without is noticing you. (if you are hunting in a river, the elk will not notice you approach). You may now run up to the elk (press "Q" to run). Once you are close enough, there will be a red mark on the elk. Hit the spacebar to bite it. The higher your stamina is (the green bar), the longer you will be able to hold onto the elk. (although the longer you hold on, the more health you will use). If there is a carcass nearby, try to herd the elk toward it so you can stop and eat before you continue the hunt.

Keep following and biting it, you'll get it eventually. I hope i helped!
