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?
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?)
