I'd say a big deer but.........when you come upon a bone(s) , sometimes anything is possible. I sometimes run my dogs in an area that used to be a dumping spot - before official dumping spot were invented. Amazing what is under the ground there. Once found the almost entire skeleton of a horse.

Never seen a deer butchered in front of me so I have nothing to compare it to. Just looked too large to me (to be a deer) as I can't wrap my hand around it.Quote:

Likely deer based on size.
Can you show at least two more views. The one you've shown has no symmetry. Maybe pieces have broken off but to be sure of location in the spinal column and to judge animal size, a view of the side that is "down" and another of the "away" side would help.
I dropped it off at the cottage on the weekend so, until I get back up there, that's the only photo I have.Quote:

Any idiot can see it's from a Samsquantch. Sheesh. You call yourselves outdoors people?
That is why I asked, sizes can vary greatly.Quote:
