Best Answer

it depends of what you are calling an elk.

In North America the species called "elk" is the Cervus canadensis, called in French the wapiti. Its female would be called 'un wapiti femelle'.

The moose (species' name Alces alces) is called 'elk' in Europe. It would be called 'un élan' in French ('un orignal' in Canadian French or to speak specifically of the North-American moose species) ; and the female is 'un élan femelle' or 'un orignal femelle'.
