Re: found deer skull-how long does it take to decomp

It should still have a little bit on it and be connected to the spine.. Post a pic

That looks older than 8 weeks IMO especially with the temps we have been having.

Can you not tell by the rack? Does it look like the buck you shot?

did not get a good look at the rack when i shot. head was hidden behind a bush

Unless that deer died on a fire ant hill or inside some beetle colony I do not think it is 8 weeks old.

Smell the cavity that leads into the brain, if it makes you want to hurl then it is fresh.

Of course, you could have some hungry scanvangers and they could have picked that thing dry.

I'd say last season kill or older. Takes a while for a skull to come clean just laying woods..
