When should I be concerned about finding bones on my property?

Sorry for the delay, was caught in a meeting all day, then my phone decided to be a pain in transferring the pics.

Also, went looking for that 2 square inch bone flake and couldn't find it. I think the lawnmower might have eaten that one.

The first one is an herbivore of some sort. Not sure exactly what the second bone is but I've found one similar before. I think itd be a leg bone area for an animal.

Jaw looks like a varmint. Beaver or marmot or the like?

The other looks to be a shoulder. Deer?

I think you're right about the flat one.

I don't think it's a beaver. Not the right shape.

Agree, think it's a bit small for a beaver too, but larger than a rat or squirrel.

I would say jaw could be a ground hog maybe or a largish rat. Look at those long curved incisors.
Flat bone looks like a deer but is rather small for that.
Neither is human so no need to call in CSI.

Could be a fawn or young deer.

I mean, unless you're bored, @Battlepants

I don’t know….looks like a George to me.

Might be worth keeping them and kinda watching to see if there are more of the same type. I'm a bit relieved to see they are not dogs or cats. I was afraid it was going to be from some sort of dog hoarder or animal abuser.
