other angle at the face, no molars could be found anywhere around it

It was a buck, Someone probably hit it with a car and cut the head off, then cut the rack off at home and disposed of the head in the woods.. Where was this at?

no fucking way. the antlers are way farther back than that.

headshot, head removed, rest taken home and processed most likely.

scavengers eat the soft tissues first.
Some hunter killed this deer, took the antlers.
Some scavenger dragged this away from the kill site to snack without competition.
Ate brains.
Ate lips.
got full and left.

>severed doe head

Like other anons said, that's not a doe.

This is the exact way I removed the antlers from first deer I killed.

>>636563
Coyotes probably dragged it away from the carcass dump site after the hunter got all the meat and antlers off it.

Normal, nothing spoopy about it. Sorry, /x/.

>>636593
Coyotes in a forest in central Iowa surrounded mostly by metropolitan space?

>>636596
Coyotes are everywhere, you just never see them, friend.

Just like those bobcats lurking in the brush as they watch you pass.

>>636563
I'm guessing someone processed a kill (poorly) and took the brains to to later brain-tan the hide

>>636572
I think you're wrong and have never seen a buck deer. Take a look at pictures of a buck's head.

>>636563

Someone poached a buck, grabbed the antlers, and dumped the rest.

You ever see a thread where the OP already had their minds up about something and just wants everyone to agree? That's this thread. So OP, either you yourself dragged the head out or a coyote did it. You probably assume skin walker though, don't you? Seeing as you shoot logical answers down.

>>636596
It doesn't have to be a coyote, either. Raccoons, possums, skunks, birds of prey, etc. all eat carcasses. I used to trap fox and coyotes using deer carcasses as bait and always caught more of everything I mentioned than what I was targeting. Even feral cats and stray dogs would likely munch on it.

>poached

its hunting season m8
middle of 3 hunting seasons in IA to be exact
sounds exactly what the other anons were talking about

I wouldn't worry about it

>>636596
Coyotes can be found inside metropolitan areas fool.

>>636563
The Brains are used to tan the hide. My assumption upon seeing this as it looks rather clean would be a hunter took and quartered the deer taking the pelt the meat and the brain to tan the pelt as well as the antlers leaving behind the head which he/or she found useless.

down here in oskaloosa Id say it was stripped of the antlers. not sure how they do it up there in the big city

I just looked up brain tanning. I want to try it.
