I'll guess it's because all the animals eat away at everything including bones. I believe lots of small rodents etc eat away at the bones.

To answer your question with a question; Did you pick that one up and take it home?

Well, here's one that will make you mad. Last spring while I was turkey hunting I found a skull. No big deal except the skull plate was cut out of it and skull was left behind. It was on private land so I'm wondering if it had been poached and left there. Best I could tell it would have been a little buck based on skull size/teeth.

I've fond quite a few skulls in the woods over the years. As "taterdavid" said most have beeh in thick cover.
