Elk

Elk (Cervus canadensis) are a species of deer found in North America and eastern Asia. They are found mainly in forests, and eat a mixed diet of grasses and leaves. In their natural range, their predators include wolves, cougars, brown bears, tigers, and leopards.

Elk appear in Assassin's Creed III and Assassin's Creed: Rogue as hunting targets.

Hunting
Both male and female elk appear in the world and provide different challenges to Ratonhnhaké:ton, Shay, and Haytham in hunting them. Female elk run away once they spot a potential predator. Therefore they must be surprised or shot to bring them down. Males, however, will turn and charge if they spot someone hunting them.

Crafting
If skinned, an elk carcass would yield an elk pelt, elk meat, and elk antlers (male only) or elk heart (female only)
