Very odd. You didn't find the head anywhere? My first though is human killed. My best guess is a bobcat since they go for a head/neck choke hold to kill. Defiantly not a coyote. They would have ate the butt and internal organs first... not the head.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

My first thought was human as well but this was not a trophy animal, there are some large rams in the herd. Head was chewed off and this was a full grown female about at about 100 lbs

Hate to say it, but it does look like some kind of ritualistic beheading. We have seen a predator head-neck takedown, but then other parts of the animal gets eaten.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

How much blood are we talking about at the kill site, and the trail to the animal?

I'd put a camera on the carcass and see what comes around.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I would think the head was removed by a human, and other critters have been chewing around the hole. The chewing would disguise the hole and make it look like the head was removed by something other than human.

Seen allot of kills over the years and the one thing they all had in common was the head was not cut off, broken off or consumed, it remained with the spine.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

There are some people who eat sheep's head. Quite the delicacy in some countries.
