What animal is this?

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

though the pic in vikram's post could be of a chinese water deer,

what (in the pic) can discriminate between the two?

the skulls look the same to the untraine eye. there are no size markers

there is even a small difference between the skull of a musk and water deer. musk deer has a different placement and a little more curved tusks than that of the one showed by vikram. 8)

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
