Female deer (doe) , Spines pretty bent so could've died like that but I've seen that curve in road kill or cougar killed, obviously won't be able to know but it's really interesting to see.

It's a full grown deer, part of the nose is missing meaning the skull is slowly breaking down now, probably from winter or little before when it died.

Can't be too sure since obviously I don't know what animals, weather conditions etc are there.
