This is what we're leaning towards. Either cow or pig after looking at some pictures. Just such a weird thing to find in the woods!

These are probably dog treats

They sell them cut like that as dog treats, with the hole packed with food. Probably either dragged out as a treat for some camper's dog or scavenged by wildlife and abandoned when the good stuff was gone.
