Two months ago, I shot a buck that I was unable to recover. Today I discovered a skull near where I ended my search. The skull was all bone (no hair or flesh), and the antlers looked to be knawed down to nubs. The skull did not appear bleached from sitting out in the elements.

I wouldlike to ask if this could be the buck I lost, if the condition of the skull is something you would expect after being in the woods for two months. Can anyone point me to any articles or web sites describingdecomposition timelineof deer?

Thanks in advance.
