Chloé I can't speak for deer anatomy, but in the case of human skeletons the favoured parts are: 1.A tooth with a pulp cavity, where the ends of the roots are sealed. 2.The petrous portion of the temporal bone, because of its density. I wonder whether deer anatomy parallels the property of human anatomy, so far as those parts go.

Which bone should I choose? First of all, are there bones to favor?
