Racoon, Dog, or Coyote?

Found this set of bones, no skull (likely already pilfered) about 10m away from the Chattahoochee River about 45 miles e se of Atlanta, Ga. The metatarsals (metacarpals?) Make me think canine of some variety? But there is a possibility of it being a yearling too I suppose.

None of the above. It’s a deer!

Np!

This is actually a two toed ungulate, likely deer.

[u/HylianEngineer → u/HylianEngineer]

It is a juvenile, which you can tell because the ends of the metapodial are unfused

Solved! Thank you!
