That almost looks like a small human femur, and with the curvature of the bone, it looks like whomever had scurvy.

Gee, hope you're kidding.....aren't human one's more rounded? I was thinking that this could be from a large cat (Mt. Lion) because of the shape? But thanks for replying, you're my "first" ever on this site...it's my first day! Yah, scurvy, I thought that to.....lion with scurvy LOL

Thanks guys, I'll do some research and check out what you said. Someone I know had said it was a cougar humorus bone and I wanted to see if anyone else thought so.
