Relative of an elk (4)

I believe the answer is:

deer

(Other definitions for deer that I've seen before include "Sledge animals for Father Christmas" , "Hoofed grazing animal" , "Antler-bearing animal" , "The males have antlers" , "The male has antlers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
