The theme of deer in interior design

I'm browsing through a lot of design blogs every day and there are certain decorative elemnts in todays interiors that begin to annoy me a little bit one of them is an image of a deer. I cant figure it out, why deers have become so trendy?? It's getting even more common then images of skulls! I can understand, why skulls seemed to be so cool. Because skull is a simbol of rock n roll style of life, skulls were on flags of pirate ships... but why deer? What's so cool about the deers?? Maybe now country way of life is becoming popular, people are trying to be closer to the wildlife? maybe "deer design" is a branch of eco design? But I dont think that having a deer had on the wall is very "eco".
Well.. anyway here are some examples of what I'm talking about)

DEER MEETS THE SKULL!
