There ain’t nothing funny about getting run over by one of the biggest animals to roam our lands. Elk are one of the largest species of deer in the world. Elk can weigh up to 1,000 pounds and stand up to 6 feet tall at the shoulder. Elk are known for their size and strength along with their massive antlers that males (bulls) grow. Only male elk have antlers, which they shed and regrow each year. The size of an elk’s antlers can vary depending on a variety of factors, including age, genetics, and food sources. Generally, older and larger bulls will have larger antlers than younger bulls. Antlers can grow up to 6 feet in length and can weigh up to 40 pounds.
