gotcoues Report post Posted March 3, 2013 I would have to assume lions get kicked by deer from time to time while in pursuit. That would be my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted March 3, 2013 It sure looks like it took a whack between the eyes to me. My taxidermist just sent me pics of my bears broken jaw that was discovered when he started taking the hide off the head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
