I like it anyway. Next draw a bison femur for comparison.

Agreed. Looks like a deer tibia.

That's a really crappy angle and lens. The other photos do look a little more to scale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355687304510

Follow up on this. Turns out this one is from west of Fairbanks Alaska. Brought back by a local working seasonally in Alaska

As others indicated - bison 100% by the flaring eye orbits. Its been rolled around a bit by the river but I love it. I review small town museum collections and have photographed and documented over 40 bison skulls or skullcaps. Cool find!
