Do you exclude the possibility of an accident? Accidents happen to animals too, especially when they panic:..The current identified large and medium carnivores in northern Minnesota are black bear, mountain lion, wolf, coyote, fisher, fox, lynx and bobcat.
Two questions:
1. Does this appear to be spiral fractures?
2. If yes, what species in the above list uses that method for killing deer?...

(warning, sad story inside)
ETA: BTW, animals can have spiral fractures. That's not extraordinary:

...she (the dog) jumped for a ball and landed wrong on her front, right leg. Once x-rayed, we found Brianna had a spiral fracture that required surgery to repair her leg...
