Well, not for fun and sport. But, elk females do fight. Boxing for herd leadership, two cows stand on their back legs and box.
The herd leaders are older cows. These lead cows know the migration routes, calving areas, river crossings and other important information. Migration is a learned behavior, not instinctive. Older cows will teach younger elk migration paths from summer to winter ranges.
