Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting So found a deer head yesterday.. (bit graphic)

I've run across quite a few deer carcasses over the years, but this is a new one. Just the head, cut off right below the skull. Small to medium size doe, maybe fawn.

Bottom side still had the hid and looked pretty recent, top side was chewed down to the skull. Fairly clean cut through the hide.

So.. what the heck critter out there could/would detach the head? Wasn't there 2 months ago, isn't a victim of our EHD epidemic last fall, guessing it was frozen for a while considering the difference in condition of top and bottom - Dec/Jan was pretty darned cold. Rest of body was nowhere to be found..

Blurry cell phone pics, sorry.
