Skull or jaw section?

Not wanting to be "skunked" with this skull question, I did a casual search through Etsy.com (a shopping website) and found this offering:

Regarding the below skull—and while not wanting to—we have ALL come within inches of these terrifying jaws!

On the plus side, at least it wasn't a human skull. I'd put money on a coyote or wolf.

I've tried to re-trace steps to find other remains but no luck. Is it possible it's a deer?

The above is the skull of a mole!

And...does the below sketch match your found skull?

Although I don't have the lower jaw, I agree with Hillcountry that it`s a deer. No canine teeth sockets. Appears to be just front and rear molars. Also, my mailman is a deer hunter of 20+ years and confirmed it as a deer immediately after seeing it.
I guess case closed. Now off to find a Chupacabra.
