The only thing that I can think of is that, in classical literature, cuckolds were said to be "wearing horns", or someone "gave them a set of horns." The phallic resemblace is obvious, hence the vulgarism "horny" for lustful. I do have an old card that says, on the cover, "Antlers in the Treetops," and, inside, "Or, who goosed the moose?"
