Deer Carcass Discovered

Columbus Elementary third graders discovered the decomposed remains of a deer in the north prairie. A lower leg bone (tibia, fibula) was discovered first, in the firebreak. Then, two femurs were sighted just off the firebreak. A few more steps into the north prairie revealed the following sight. The radio, including antenna, is 12 inches long. Which bones can you identify?
