Post by: TnTurk on March 27, 2011, 10:08:13 PM
Came across this skull this afternoon while doing a little scouting. Pretty sure it's a yote, what do ya'll think?(http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z403/robinsons8/DSC00479.jpg)(http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/z403/robinsons8/DSC00477.jpg)

Wild hog was my first thought, but we don't have any in this area. I was hoping every one would say yote, cause don't want those rascals in this part of the state. I don't even think there is any farm pigs that may have gotten lose around this particular farm I hunt.

What county did you find it in ? Were gettting hogs in west TN.  It could be a farmers hog that got out also.

Looking at the hog pic vs yours, it sure looks like a match to me.

It's a hog....you didn't think you had them but those dang things are taking over everywhere!

We didn't have them in this part of the state until hog hunting with dogs caught on then some of the guys that were interested in it caught some in live traps brought them up here and cut them loose! Those boys need to be cut loose from the family jewels for that bone head move! >:(

Something else I'll through at you. Less than 75 yards from where I found the skull was the skeletal remains of what appeared to be a young doe. Bones were scattered about and appeared to have been chewed on. I think it's time for a little yote hunting.
