Pretty neat little skull from a lion kill site. No telling how long it had been there.

Where was this?

Pretty cool! Looks to have been just out of velvet due to how knarly his bases look. Maybe August/September kill.

What do you mean from a 'lion kill'?

You killed a lion and on recovery you found this ...?

[Howard]

Probably found it packed in a pile of leaves or something indicating "lion kill"

One lion can kill many deer every year. They don't eat it all. So occisionally you find the bones and skull.

I was turkey hunting in a thick canyon one spring a decade or so ago and I came into a thick brushed area. I started smelling a really musty smell and noticed several dead deer carcasses piled up under the trees while walking trough. They were partially covered with brush and other forest debri. I figured at one time that canyon had a good population of deer because it had good cover, food and water. I did not see many deer while turkey hunting there those few days.
