Cross section cut of a cow leg bone from a roast.

This is what we're leaning towards. Either cow or pig after looking at some pictures. Just such a weird thing to find in the woods!

They sell them cut like that as dog treats, with the hole packed with food. Probably either dragged out as a treat for some camper's dog or scavenged by wildlife and abandoned when the good stuff was gone.

These are probably dog treats
