The biggest differences are the color, elk are much more of a dark-chestnut color whereas that deer was a lightish brown color. The antlers are all wrong to be an elk. Most importantly and obviously is the size, elk are twice the size of a deer, average ones are three times the size of the deer in the show.
The top of that deers back was as tall or just shorter than the kids head, probably 4 foot something. The top of the back on an elk would my shoulder/neck height and I'm 6'4".
