Elkfersupper, I’m sure your a nice guy. But what you are saying is really hard to swallow. Suppose people ran down elks that crossed the road at every opportunity and elk country was criss-crossed with highways driven over by idiot city people and big trucks.

Might run out of elk for supper.

The elk might be injured or die but the vehicle that impacts the elk and the people inside are more than likely to die. Imagine a 2,000 lb. animal crashing through your windshield at night. For some reason, they get out of the way of moving vehicles at great speed during the daytime.

Not meant to lecture, but "elk" is both singular and plural. It is possible to encounter one elk, or a herd of elk. There are no "elks".

A mature male elk is a "bull". A mature female elk is a "cow". A pre-pubescent elk, regardless of sex is a "calf" (plural = "calves"). A post-pubescent male generally ineligible for harvest is a "spike".
