Male deer occasionally get their horns tangled, and the latest one had its rack hung up on a rope in a Michigan backyard.

Buck's Do the Darndest Things With Their Racks

The male deer known as a buck does a lot with its horns. The horns fall off each year and when they grow back they have velvet on them which they rub off on trees in late August and September.

When deer mating season is approaching, male deer will rub their horns on trees to mark their territory letting other bucks know this is their area.

Bucks also use their horns to fight which can get brutal with one of the deer losing its life in extreme battles. These battles happen during the mating season.

In the video above you can see during deer battles, sometimes their horns can get locked and it takes human intervention to separate them.
