It would take a lot of force to do so, and deer both don't have enough strength to do so nor are their antlers that brittle or fragile to be able to be broken that easily.

Why do deer rub there atlers on trees?
Deer grow a new set of antlers each year. The new antlers are covered in a kind of velvet. Because of fighting and searching for food the velvet becomes rather tatty, often hanging down in strips. This can reduce the animals vision, which is highly important to such an animal. So it rids itself of the offending velvet by rubbing its antlers against trees. The bare antlers are used especially in the "rutting" season (the mating season) when the strongest deer, usually with the largest and perfectly shaped antlers, will be able to assemble his own herd of females. Later in the year the antlers are "cast" off, but the material of which they are made is not wasted because the deer will gnaw away at the antlers to take in the stuff needed for antlers to grow once more.
How does the deer lose the velvet off his antlers?

Why do moose have horns?
Moose don't have horns. They are antlered mammals, much like elk or deer. The difference between horns and antlers is that antlers will typically be grown and fall off annually, whereas horns will grow only once. There are several reasons that moose have antlers. First, when the antlers grow and develop in the warmer months of the year, the antlers are covered in a fine velvet that is soft to the touch. Underneath the velvet flows a system of arteries and veins that circulate blood throughout the antlers. this acts as a cooling mechanism for the moose, keeping it cool in the hot months of summer. When the weather begins to cool down in fall, the moose will shed their velvet, with much bleeding, in order to turn their antlers into weapons. using trees and other objects as sharpening devices, moose peel the velvet from their antlers and sharpen their antlers in order to use them as a defense against predators and as a tool for finding a mate.
