The elkhound is a hunting dog. he scent's out the Elk ,finds it and keeps it distracted by barking and dodging it till the hunter comes to shoot it. Elkhounds have to be brave and fast. They are lovely dogs :)

are they hunted for meat sortof like venison is from deers (sorry i know ignorant but i'd honestly never heard of them) ? 

we dont have them here do we, the deers i have seen are much smaller like large dog size that thing looks like a buffalo size or something??

yes they are hunted for food , the hunting of elk is very strict , you can only shoot a male or a lone calf. And only in the hunting season witch is about 2 weeks.
Elkhounds have also been used to hunt birds and other small game. :happy:
