What is this? (Name that skull)

 

Front of the skull

A few months ago when Dad and I were out scouting a new hunting spot,  he found this.

I did not measure it, but I would say it was 8 inches from the back to the front and stood 6 inches tall from the base to the top of the head.  It lead us to believe that it was a young animal.  The left pedicles was between 2 and 3 inches tall.

My brother in law thinks it might be a goat. But not a deer.  My mom thinks it could be a feral deer.  I think it might be a red deer. And I found this cool blog when I was doing a little bit of research. What a cool 10 year old kid!

So, I want to know what you think it is… or is not.  No one has definitively said “this is X” but I wish someone would!
