Deer typically fight in order to state that they are the dominate buck in the area. Although it may seem like they are trying to hurt one another, it is more of a playfull competition

Male deer fight by locking antlers and pushing against each other. The one who is pushed backward and gives up loses. They usually do not harm each other during these fights.

Who would win in a fight between 5 men and a deer?

Normally a deer would chose to run away than to fight, unlike a moose. A buck can be very powerful and dangerous enough to wound five men. So it's possible that, in a fight, the deer may win, but not as a means to kill all men, but enough so that it can fight them off to get away to freedom.


Who would win a fight a deer or a man?

Most likely the deer would win the fight. A buck with sharp antlers and strong hooves can kill a man by striking him with them, but if the man had a sharp knife, he might kill the deer. Even if the deer had no horns, the deer can still kill the man by knocking the man to death with its head. You just need a gun. Bang. We win


Who would win in a fight between 2 men and a deer?

A buck on the rut is surprisingly powerful, much more than a human or even two men. However, in a natural setting with the deer NOT being on the rut, a deer would normally choose to run away than stand and fight. Even a cornered deer will fight long enough to wound the men so that it can quickly get away.
