Nice find. Misleading whatever it is.

most definitely a dog. looks like a breed with a short snout. but no doubt due to the canines and size.

Charlie - That book that you mounted the Skull on is a great read and should get you fired up for this years Elk hunt.

John,

In 2 weeks after my hog hunt, Elk will be all I will be able to think about.   ;)
Relax,

You'll live longer!

I saw this thread and had to add these pics. I found this about 20 yrds off the road,I think it's a house cat. You can tell they are from the same species.

I'm going to go with a big Tom Bobcat. He was definitely the man, until he used up number nine life!

I haven't read all the posts and I am sure you have told what it is, but first guess is a Bobby, the canines look awfully large and the eye sockets look much bigger than that of a bobby so maybe Lynx?

among cats, lynx have a unique dental formula.  Most felines have dentition of i3.c1.p3.m1/3.1.2.1=30 while lynx have 3.1.2.1/3.1.2.1=28  (molars 1.1 are unique to cats)...canine have 3.1.4.2/3.1.4.3=42  

i=incisors c=canines p=premolars m=molars

if there are 3 premolars in the upper jaw, it is a bobcat, if there are only 2 lynx.

hope this helps

Looks like there were 3 pre-molars. one little, one large one medium size.
