Elk Horns

[GrimmSpector]

I have bagged a number of elk so far, all in the winter, and not a single one has had horns, do they just not have horns in the winter, or am I just unlucky?

Only male elk have horns, so you've probably bagged females only. The game names the males and females differently.

I wasn't sure if the game did genders, but suspected this may be the case. Seems there's a shortage of males!

Bulls and some cows have horns.
Elk/moose have antlers.

Horns do not get shed. Antlers get shed annually.
Some antler growing species only male have them, moose/elk. Some species both genders do, like reindeer.

Ingame, antlers are not shed. Maybe the bull moose are busy elsewhere?

Must be so this winter. Whenever I see Reindeer it's usually a group. Chased them to my settlement, and I'd accidentally left the gate open and they ran into my gated area, and I ran in behind and shut them in and killed them lol
