Definitely not frozen! Look at the firs photo the spine is bent down and it actually looks like the deer is pulling a way a bit, it's not like that in the next couple of photos, does a frozen solid deer's spine bend like that.....Nope! If it were frozen do you think the neck would move back and forth from picture to picture......no!. Also it doesn't look like those guys are freezing their a$$e$off at all if it was cold enough to freez a wounded deer. I think some of you should stick to deer huntinginstead of detective work, thats for sure.

I think this deer was hit by a car and is practically brain dead or just not all there at all. I think they are holding on to those antlers sooo tight because the deer is moving around a bit on them. Poor buck.....they should have put down right when they found him.....who knows how long they stood around and took pictures and laughed it off.
