Boring Bone Need ID

I've posted this on several ID sites (Facebook, Fossil Forum, etc.) but there seems to be no idea or no interest... Partial tibia of what? This was found on a river gravel bar in southern Minnesota

Looks like an ulna off a deer size critter.

You gave no context on the find but the end looks like it is intentionally beveled. I have found hundreds of deer ulnas in native sites that were beveled to use as flaking tools.

Thanks for the info! I had not considered this but makes sense. We have found a few other artifacts in the area. I updated the post above to indicate context. It was found on a river gravel bar in Southern Minnesota.
