Question about what I came across in woods....
Hello, Im from North Iowa and was out shed hunting yesterday afternoon and came across something I consider extremely odd. As I was walking I caught a glimpse of a deer skull with a rack on it. The skull was laying inside a large "thicket" so I crawled inside it to retrieve it. Once I got to it I was suprised to find an opening that was about 10ft x 10ft. that had bones strewed all about this opening. I knew there was too many bones to be from just one deer and as I looked around more I found 2 more skulls, both female. All the bones were sun bleached and appeared had been there for a few years. I didnt see any hair or any other sign. At first I thought maybe deer poachers stashed their deer there but it didnt make any sense. For one they never took the rack and secondly there wasnt a road near me, at least a mile in either direction. The stash was right in the middle of the woods, in the thickest part. My question to you guys and gals is what could do this? I ruled out people, but would a coyote or a stray dog stash their kills like this? This really has me scratching my head and hope to hear some suggestions on what this could be. Thanks
