Their neck swells because they experience a surge in testosterone which then triggers an added flow of oxygen in the blood, thus neck swelling. More oxygen, more blood equals more muscle mass used for sparring or actual fighting and/or intimidation; with a swelled neck a buck appears bigger, stronger and might be considered as body language to convey dominance or intimidate other bucks.

The swelling is from a surge of hormones most likely triggered by females in estrus.
