When deer battle with their antlers, it sometimes happens that they become locked together so hopelessly that they can’t separate. When this happens, usually both of them will die of exhaustion.
However, sometimes one dies and the other is cut free by scavenger animals. He is then forced to carry his opponent’s rotting head till his own antlers fall off in the spring.

That’s metal as fuck. Has anyone ever actually witnessed it? I’m guessing most evidence of it is via found shed antlers entangled with a skull’s.
Every now and then people will find two dead bucks stuck together, or two live deer that need rescuing. Theres a video of a man freeing a deer that’s stuck to a dead deer, and this famous photo from a few years ago of an elk carrying the head of his rival that presumably was chewed free by coyotes or wolves.
