Definitely NOT a canine.
Look at the coyote skull picture. All canines have the ridge (sagittal crest) that runs down the back of their skull.

Lower jawbone of a hog I found a couple years ago. Missing a tusk.
Boil it in soapy water 'til the bad ackumpucky's gone, let it dry and whiten it with hairdresser's hydrogen peroxide. "European mount" suitable for any man cave. Make up a story
Buried one our dogs in the garden in a body bag. Then we moved. Someday, someone will find her. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

This doesn't have the open nose that a bear has. It has the bone extension into the nose area like a pig.
I first thought pig, but knowing that none are in central Oregon, I sent went bear...right up until I looked at a skull of a bear. Nose cavity isn't right for bear.
My bet is a domestic type hog, a pet or maybe a small pig that somebody decided to cook and trashed what they didn't want to cook on public lands

With a moniker as Chorizo I can see why.
Pigs and .44's . A match made in heaven.

Once was after hitting one twice with a 44mag with no perceptible slowing down. It died at the base of the scrub oak I pulled myself up on!
It was a dead pig attacking, but it would have still gotten me.
Watch this: Not me, but a couple of guys I know through my ex-brother-in-law..they are more of a danger to themselves sometimes!

Couple of years ago I bought a Sightmark Wraith infrared scope for one of my bull barreled unmentionables. It’s a fine scope but I’ve only sat out with it at night a couple of times. Need to dust it off.

Wow this thread really blew up, sorry for the late replies. I do believe this now to be porky pig. My guess some neighbor down the road shot and butchered his own pork and put the skull in the tree out on the blm land. Anyways just in case here’s a few extra pics for your entertainment.
Th...th...th...that's all folks.

Rabies is carried in saliva and it has to enter the body through a wound , most usually a bite .I found it that way in the tree, I took it home, I plan on cleaning it and preserving it with some polyurethane. Made sure to wash my hands tho (read somewhere bacteria might have rabies dunno) it’s currently setting in my bedroom (still single so no one to tell me not to yet.)
