Is this the real thing?
It might be. Best to be certain. Don't disturb the area! Contact local coroner, and have them investigate further. You might have stumbled onto a crime scene, and the less you disturb it, the more that can be learned.

pics can be deceiving, but i'd say deer bones. The femur appears to be too short to be that thick for a human leg bone, if that makes sense. then again, could have been a dwarf, right ;D

I see dead deer all the time out here in the wooded areas and those look like deer leg bones, much to short for a grown human and to thick for a human child ,properly a bear kill up in Canada .

I asked my sister to look at these bones. She has been a RN for 30 yrs. and does orthopedic surgery, and said these were not human femur or hip bones. She said the bones were too thick for a human.

I agree with the others; they look like deer bones as shown below. No matter what kind of bones we find while MD, it's still kinda spooky to me. Breezie

It was smart to post here first. You cant call the police out to check every set of animal bones found in the woods.

About three weeks ago our neighbor found a similar-looking bone in their backyard. . . a day later after giving their "find" some thought, they called the police and a young officer responded to their call. The bottom line was he said they couldn't dig, plant or weed the garden until the coroner gave his OK. (they still haven't heard anything yet :P)

I live in Mich where most people deer hunt and from what I can see, it looks like the thigh bone and lower leg bone. The pelvis bone looks way to thick to be a human. Regardless, I would first ask, is there deer hunting or any animal hunting in that area? Do you have deer in the area? Do you know if that specific area you are in has had deer hunters in the past or current? Do you have deer in the area? Do they get hit by vehicles? Sometimes people hunt out of season and bury the deer so they don't get caught, hence the deer bones or they simply get rid of the remains, legally or not by just dumping them in some woods or wherever. Or deer can get hit by a car, run off and die in any spot due to injury, they don't always just die on spot.

LOL :laughing7: :laughing7: That is too funny. Maybe cryptic can save the bones and bury them in opposite ends of where he wants his garden next year. . . .then call the authorities. Be sure to leave one sticking up out of the ground. It shouldn't take the squad too long to dig the whole garden. :laughing7: Breezie

I had to reply to this when I saw it, This Is how I got my Screen name on here and other sights..I was out with 2 of my daughters and 1 ove there friends here just looking for new places for arrowheads and beads. We went down a ruff wash and ended up in a little pasture with a cabin that sat off to the left.. Now a year before this 2 german guys dissapeard around the town we live in and this was kid of the direction they were last seen..Anyway when we got down in the pasture the was something sitting on a post,once I got close enough I could see it was a human skull freaked me the hell out and I turned around and we were outta there..I came home told my wife and I decided to get ahold of the police and let them know, they wanted me to take them to it, But it was on the border of California and Nevada so they had to call California police in on it too...Gave the California police a place to meet up with me and the Nevada sherrif so I could show them exactly where it was..We got down to the pasture and got to where you could just barely see the skull,they pulled out the binoculars and said looks like a skull to me and told me to stay behind and went to check it out...They were damn near rolling on the ground when they told me to come up to them...It was a styro foam skull some one must have put there from holloween or something but it was bleach white with what looked liked dried blood streaking down the side of it.....Once my friends found out thats been my nickname eversince..............Wish I had a camera and was on T Net at that time, Would have saved me a lot of embarrasment................LMAO

My friend, a doctor and very experienced anatomist says this belongs to a quadraped. So, there you go. And as for why, she says, "I can give you details--ischiopubic ramus way too thick, obturator foramen too elongate, ischial wing way too narrow and not much of a flair on it. " That sounds pretty official. Done and doner.
