It's been decades since I read Elk of North America but if I recollect correct, the high pitch carries farther in open country and the lower pitch carries farther in heavily wooded areas. Elk are more open country, Red Deer are more old growth forest. These are general evolutionary principles and mileage may vary by individual and time on location.
