[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 230673, member: 852"] HF, jawbone did look like that but there were also molars on the bottom jaw - I'm not sure if there are molars on the bottom jaw of your pic of the calf skull or not. Can't really tell. Sidney- the bones were scattered pretty far and while I didn't see any other bones or pieces of hide, they could well have been nearby but I just missed seeing them. There's a good 40 acres of hills, trees, water and sagebrush, so there's a lot of country the extra parts could have been hiding in. We do have quite a few coyotes that live in that area so it doesn't surprise me too much if this was all that was left after 2 days. There were also a few vultures circling the pasture day-before-yesterday -- they clean a carcass pretty quickly too. Based on the pics and the information I have, I'm going to conclude that the skull is from the calf I was looking for, which means I don't need to go hunting again. Thanks everyone for your help! :) [/QUOTE]
