A male deer is called a hart. This name derives from the Old English word "heorot" which means deer. This word was mainly used in medieval times. Also there are refrences in shakespere where he uses the words hart and heart as a pun.

Male deer do NOT have horns. They have antlers which are used to spar other bucks for breeding rights and territory.
