Elk are animals featured in Red Dead Redemption.
Description
Elk can be hunted and skinned. Rank 7 of the Master Hunter Challenges requires the player to collect five portions of Elk Meat. Hunting elk is an extremely lucrative business, and their meat and fur sells highly in Mexico, as it is not a local animal.
Locations
Elk can be found in the general area of mountains and forests of West Elizabeth shown on the map or specifically:
- Around Manzanita Post (Top right corner of picture on map in game).
- The entire area of Tall Trees.
- South-west of Manzanita Post (Depicted by a picture of bighorn sheep on the map).
- Around Beecher's Hope
- Good location is also around the Nekoti Rock, near the crossroad (along with a lot of bears).
There is an elk spawning point just east of Bearclaw Camp, in a sort of ditch from where you can overlook the railway camp to the south-east, just remain in the area and two elk shall spawn.
In the area southwest of Manzanita, (with the Bighorn pictures on the map) between the front and rear legs of the middle bighorn sheep on depicted in the map.
During the misson: "John Marston and Son", John Marston and Jack Marston go out to find, kill and skin elk in Tall Trees.
Characteristics
Elk are one of the largest species of deer in the world, second only to the moose. Their antlers grow up to 4 feet long and can weigh up to 40 pounds. Elk are prized by hunters for their hides and meat, which is low in fat and high in protein. Known predators are the Grizzly Bears, Wolves and Cougars. They average about 6 feet tall and typically weigh around 800 pounds. The elk is a passive animal and will flee as soon as it detects the player or a predatory animal. They are easy to spot due to their sheer size and antlers that reflect the sunlight, and will either be brown or a lighter grey color. Also, listen for their distinctive high-pitched bugling sounds that occur in long notes or in short, quick notes like chirping, like in real elk. When killing an Elk, the player could easily know it is a bull elk because it makes a "moo" sound after getting shot.
