COLORADO — There are countless videos out there of bucks and bull elk getting aggressive. They often target each other in violent battles that end tragically for one or both of the combatants.

Other times, bucks and bulls direct their aggression toward inanimate objects. Fire hydrants get dinged, cars get chased and billboards get attacked.

But have you ever seen a buck go after a foe that has already paid a visit to the taxidermist? Check out this funny video.

I imagine the buck was flabbergasted by how stoic and regal the mount looked. How could this deer be so unflappable in the face of a challenger?

Ultimately, the homeowner is lucky the buck didn't charge into the house and cause some real chaos. As the guy says in the video, "I don't think that's a good idea, buddy."
