#Roosevelt Elk Update (Rework + New Racks + Great One)

Rework: Roosevelt Elk are one of the oldest model animals in the game and it would be great to see them get some love. They need some work done with their bulk and fur mostly. They'd look so much better if they got a rework! Besides whitetail, my favorite species to hunt is the Roosevelt Elk so I'd hunt them way more often if this happened

Great One: I would absolutely love for the Roosevelt Elk to be the next Great One. It is one of the most requested GO's. And there is so many possibilities for cool fur and rack variations. I can only imagine seeing a mighty GO Roosevelt standing there before your eyes in all of it's glory. It would be crazy and a dream come true. So please let this be the next GO! In my opinion it would be the best one by far

New Racks: The diamond racks for Roosevelt Elk we have right now aren't the best and all pretty much look the same. They need to be taller, thicker and wider like how they are in The Hunter: Classic. So hopefully we'll get some update racks for these guys!

So in the long run, these guys need a complete overhaul! A rework, new racks and a GO would the breath some fresh air into the Roosevelt Elk amd make them much more unique

Also, thanks to @delicate path I decided to edit this post and add a possible Great One also for the Roosevelt Elk. The ideas for possible GO's are in the comments bellow. If you have any ideas for a GO please share them!

Hello ejstewart2002,

We appreciate you taking time to share with us your suggestions and ideas on how we could improve our game. Our development Team is constantly working on new content and they are open to ideas!

If you have any other ideas, feel free to share them with us!

I would like to see some of the fur variations they could come up with on these if it was made into a Great One

#

I think the next GO will definitely be a Roosevelt. It has been the most requested besides the Fallow. So hopefully a remodel and GO update will come to them soon!

Here's some different racks on some Roosevelt. These are some beasts! So many possibilities for a GO

It could be cool to see a Great One Elk like this with bigger Rack of course Mixed with some Black as a new Great One. I wouldn't want it half and half like the moose but kinda mixed all over with black and white.

I would like to see some different variations of this for some of the Great Ones. This is the Number 1 color scheme in the whole game for me with the fallow piebald right behind. Hopefully if they do make a Great One they keep this color scheme for the piebald along with new option as well.

So what is everyone's thoughts on another map location if this GO gets added. The way I see it we have 3 options. California, Vancouver Island and Kodiak Island. Where would you all think it would be the best fit for a added location of the 3 locations ?

@trail temple I say do it. I would like to see what all Kodiak could bring to the table besides the Roosevelt Elk. I'm just hoping we get them on another map. They are too amazing to be left on one reserve. They are one of the most requested GO I've heard. No facts on that.

Rocky Mountain Elk are waaaaay worse looking in game imo

delicate path
#

They both have issues. The body type is probably worse on the Rocky Mountain elk and the Fur textures and face are worse on the Roosevelt Elk. The Roosevelt looks more outdated to me. Hopefully soon this gets some love from the Devs. They have been doing an amazing job on the new fur textures. I can't wait to see what they do with the Elk GO.

I'm just ready for more Elk in general!

Sorry if i am late to the party, I made an edit of what the reworked rosy elk could potentially look like

There is edits to the baggy-ness of the fur, as i have noticed older elk (which is ideal for hunting to my knowledge) have an excess of, i tweaked the face and ear to have that longer and pointier feel that most elk have. I have straightened the back out a bit as i think elk have a "stockier" and more square shape theory to their bodies. Extended the belly as i see that a lot at least in the bulls. Have darkened their legs and neck a bit.

#

Though i feel these suggestions are late into the season (update being just shy of 2 months out) if it were to come in June id hope the team would take a peek

If You Ask Me The Roosies And Rockies Should Have Basically The Same Model, Just With Slightly Different Antlers, And The Roosies Should Have Larger Manes On Their Neck.

Fabald Shade: front part of body being jet black and the other half being a lighter grey . Like imagine Half melanistic

kind drum
tacit shoal
#

The elk need a complete overhaul. The body needs more mass. A bull elk needs to look like a bull instead of a bulky cow. Also add mass to their antlers. I feel like they get the least amount of attention to detail with the antlers. In the animal world they have some of the most dramatic antler displays. Their antlers aren't supposed to be like longer spindly toothpicks. They are supposed to have mass. The game kind of makes it feel like the antlers are smaller than what they are irl. Also some more color variations. Like a dark brown all the way across the body instead of on their main of their necks.

# tacit shoal More than that I would like a different look to them right now. They look about ...

Yeah Plus I Think That Not Only Should The Elk Get A Serious Bulk In Their Model But Their Ability To Go Down. Irl Elk Are Tough As Nails. I’ve Shot Many Cows At Both Close And Long Distances, Most Through Both Lungs And Heart, With Both 7mm Remington Magnum And 6.5 Creedmoor. Not A Single One Has Dropped On The Spot. They All Run Several Yards Before Going Down. Also, Red Deer Should Be A Class 8, Especially Considering That .300 Win Mag Is A Popular Caliber For Them.

It was with a 300 win mag if your interested

# tacit shoal Yeah. I know how tough. I shot one in New Mexico a decent size bull. He was runn...

Yeah They’re Crazy Tough, And I Don’t Think Their Current State Shows That Enough. Even If That Buff Doesn’t Happen, At Least Make Them Look Tougher. Make Their Muscles In The Back Legs More Pronounced, And In Bulls Make The Mane More Noticeable. And I’m Rocky Mountain Elk They Should Turn The Current Common Light Grey Fur Type And Turn It Into A Rare Leucistic Fur Type, As It Is At Least Somewhat Similar Ti What A Leucistic Elk Looks Like.

With moose they can take 2,3,4 shots but they hardly run. After a couple of well place shots they typically drop or run a very short distance. With elk you can put 3 shots in the wheel house and they can still run 200,300,400 and even 500 yards before finally dying.

slate gale
# tacit shoal Lots of people even say elk are tougher than moose to bring down and kill. That'...

The Worst Shot That I’ve Made On A Cow (Was A Stomach Shot When I Was Still A Novice) Was With A 7mm Remington Magnum, And She Ran For Over 1.75 Miles After The Initial Shot, And She Simply Stopped, So I Took Another Shot. She Had No Intention Of Dying There, She Was Going To Run Until She Literally Couldn’t Anymore. They Are Easily The Most Strong Willed And Arguably Powerful Animals In North America. They Will Refuse To Die Unless You Hit The Perfect Shot.

Fabald Honey: yellow on the body with spots of dark brown and orange. The neck area should be orange with it be darker the closer to it's head. The head should be dark brown with a White streak going down the top of it's head to the nose. Also it has Yellow eyes.

Fabled knight. It can have a metallic silver on his body and neck with a black head and antlers as pale as snow. He is a champion of many duels and jousts. The crimson scares on his face and body can confirm the hard win fights. His antlers are battered and splintered. Are you the hunter that can take this majestic beast down?

If the Great one Roosevelt elk gets added I want it to have several Fabald fur types

This may have been said but just make it a GO elk. Rocky and Roosevelt could have the same model for the GO. We have a lot of great maps but really need anothe elk map imo. I know the North America map haters do not agree but they are one of my favorites to hunt.

Rocky mountain elk are one of the most highly prized game animals in North America and we only have on map with them. Lots of areas reintroduced with huntable population East of the Rockys now along with New Mexico and western plains. Lots of good options for another elk map.

# warm lion Just make a great one elk and use it for both in my opinion.

Both species do have distinctions from each other. The main differences between them are their bodies, color and antlers. The Roosevelt Elk is darker in color, have bigger manes and have slightly smaller antlers and larger bodies than the Rocky Mountain Elk. If they do decide to make a GO I'd be ok if they did it for both species but just make the GO's different from each other and gave unique variations so there can still be distinction between them

We definitely need a Canada Elk map in this game. Canada doesn't have any dedicated maps and the Elk is iconic in my opinion. Canada would give us Species we don't have and make the Elk hunting better. If Red Deer can have 5 maps I think Elk can have another one. I personally love Elk hunting more than Elephants.

Work not live, and bits of Africa are terrible. And again I do not hate America because of CoTW’s map selection, don’t be so utterly silly.

I’ve called suggestions that offer no real new species rubbish before because they are. IE New England

Wanting a whole new map for only one species and a visual gimmick really doesn’t convince me.

If you are unable to argue or counter any points I’ve made about the number of America maps already present compared to other regions, as well as more diverse species lists. Then that’s fine.
You do not however need to throw your toys out the pram and start getting personal and begin throwing hysterical claims at people.

I’m being respectful to you, and I have not risen to any of the off comments you have made so far. However I do feel, you are coming across as very confrontational and petty.

By coming out with stuff like “you only care about Africa because you live there” when I don’t and saying I hate America is character bashing you are more than welcome to retract those statements on your messages and prove to me that you are not.

I admire your passion for North American reserves and it’s passion like that which keeps the game community interested and interactive. You just need to harness it a bit better.

Not all feedback is going to be positive, as I know from previous suggestions I’ve made.

Elk hunting in the mountains was the most physically challenging thing I've ever done in my life and one of the most rewarding after packing out a bull on public ground.

The concepts are amazing @final slate! Thank you so much for making them! Do you think you could make a type of Fabled Piebald?

After seeing the stream and how amazing the remodels are I can't wait till this becomes reality. They freaking killed it on the new models. It's going to be torture seeing these new animals and having to look at the ELK and Blacktail in their current state.

Something like this but with more points would be cool. It looks kinda boring without many points. Just looks like some bent baseball bats lol

I think this should be the next Great One because it needs the remodel the most and would be amazing!!!!
I absolutely want Mule Deer also but Mule Deer currently look better than the Elk.

Maybe EW will do us a solid and provide both at the same time.

And besides, hunting great one black bear and Rocky mountain elk at the same time seems like way more fun

And Rocky mountain elk are SRP exclusive

If we end up getting a Elk Great One , both Roosevelt and Rocky Elk will most likely have a Hybrid Great One that will bring a Great One to both at the same time. EW has already hinted at this in a stream.

@delicate path love the name but yea I would prefer both of them then just 1 of them like you said

This picture below by @south oriole is still one of my favorite possible fur types for a G1 Elk. I would love to see some more possibilities. i wish I had this skill or i would make some options.

This would be one of my favorite antler variations. Would love to see it in the game.

Here's a nice possible G1 elk antler variation. They could be exaggerated a little more in the game but look pretty good.

This looks amazing! I love the name as well. You have some amazing skills. Do you mind if I increase the light balance so it shows a little better on here?

sure thing!

Scorpion Rack: the antlers would kind look like scorpions with the brow tines being the pincers Side tines being the legs and a big clubbed end with a sharp tine being the stinger.

If the G1 Roosevelt elk gets added it the be one of the most if not the most crazy looking great ones ever

I'd love to see an Elk bump in this game. I will be so excited that day if it ever happens. They really deserve some love and need more maps for them. 🙏

It is surreal that the Rocky Mountain Elk is larger than the Roosevelt Elk.

Glad to see this remodel/G1 suggestion still getting love. I really hope to have a better Roosevelt Elk map to play on at some point. They are currently so underrated compared to Red Deer

This guy needs a rework. Just look at this face. It has gotten left behind with all the great reworks EW has done. Please bring this animal up to date Ew 🙏

delicate path
#

Let's get this to 600. It's one of the most needed reworks currently. Grizzly Bear and Coyote is right up there also.

Caribou could use a rework also, but they currently aren't as bad as Roosevelt Elk and Grizzy imo. Maybe we will get lucky and all three will get reworked at the same time. That would be amazing.

delicate path
#

Please update them EW. i want to enjoy hunting them like some of the better updated animals. This is one of the most iconic animals in the game. It needs some love. I'm so excited to see what they can do to the Roosevelt Elk with how far they have come on animal models.

#

Regardless of what map EW drops next, i think it needs Roosevelt Elk. Most upvoted rework and one of the most needed. At this point I don't even care if Polar bears and Roosevelt Elk are on the same map. I just want some dang good Elk hunting

Hell I would even take a map on the moon with Roosevelt Elk as Jaxy would say at this point 🤣

If you look at the picture the roosevelt body is smaller which it shouldn't be. I believe that's the problem

I know this bull. Information about this bull: Jeff Didericksen, lucky recipient of the 2002 Sportsman's Tag in Utah, takes a monster 418 3/8 gross, 412 net non-typical B&C elk. This was the first 400 net scoring elk taken by a hunter in Utah. Video: https://youtu.be/vddmYpH53sY?si=CpYHTgqtSrwmNa51

Well if this new map is based on British Columbia i hope to god we get this rework. It is the most upvoted rework. I know that doesn't always matter but it would be amazing. If they do a G1 I hope it has a bunch of fur types so it takes a long time to get them all.

no rosey elk rework, HOWEVER we got a new elk species!!!

I appreciate the Manitoba Elk subspecies definitely, but I’m still strongly wishing for a Roosevelt rework.

final slate
#

Maybe they will get a remodel, they probably made the new one, and copy pasted it and made some changes to it. Seems idiotic to not rework them if they made a new elk species

That would make the most sense

I really hope to hear if this happened this Tuesday

EW, can you please tell us tomorrow if the other older Elk got a rework with the new added Elk on the new map. The waiting is killing me lol. Ive pretty much gave up hope for a G1 Elk with the websites saying it's not Elk. i hope they are wrong but if we can't get a G1, I hope the Roosevelt at least got a rework 🙏

delicate path
#

Still no confirmation if Roosevelt got a rework?

After seeing the video from today I see the Mule deer still has the same antlers. Im still holding out a small amount of hope Elk might be the new Great One.

I mean if they made Mule Deer the new Great One wouldn't it have made sense to just go ahead with the antler rework since they would be adding new antlers for the Great One anyway.

For that reason it makes me really question if Mule Deer is the new Great One. It would be basically double work. They would already be in there for the Great One antlers so why go back? Im clinging to any hope i can get at this point 😂

Let's continue to up vote this so Roosevelt gets a Great One.

39 more. Let's get this to 600 and let EW know the Elk needs a Great One. Where's my Elk lovers at.

Anyone heard if Roosevelt got remodeled? We didn't get a Great One but im still hoping for a remodel with this update

I don't remember where I saw this, but someone on one of the forums showed a picture of a Rocky Mountain Elk and wrote something like "I think they reshaped it" with a question mark. So I don't remember where I saw this, but maybe.

It's good, it's on the Alberta Reserve Uptade forum. It was IKOG who posted a photo wondering if they had remodeled the elk.

Forgotten in the Pines

In Alberta’s wild, where the rivers gleam,
A map was born from a hunter’s dream.
With spruce and snow and sky so wide,
New creatures came with noble pride.
But deep in the woods, 'neath cedar and fir,
A Roosevelt elk gave a puzzled stir.
“No graphic revamp?” he gave a sigh,
As snow geese wheeled in the northern sky.
His antlers grand, his coat earth-brown,
Yet in this map, he wore no crown.
While others shone with pixels new,
He stood unchanged beneath the dew.
Still smiling he roams the morning mist,
Though off the devs’ much-lauded list.
A ghost in code, he walks alone—
Majestic, yes, but overthrown.

We need this. They haven't been touched in over 7 years. I don't understand Caribou getting remodeled first but hopefully this comes soon.
