Steve, I do not think so. Very possible, I guess. But why would a coyote drag it out there?

I've seen footage of deer in big trouble out on the ice with no threats around at all. Depends on the ice conditions, it may be that this deer exhausted itself just trying to walk across, but its hooves kept slipping out from under him and he laid down and froze in, it happens when there is a thaw and slippery with water on ice! Up here in Ontario we routinely see news stories about rescue efforts for geese that have literally frozen into the water. The deer may have been dead (or near-dead) and then been found by predators, but unable to run.
Regardless, I agree that falling to hunter is not as cruel as mother nature can be.

I saw that happen just this yr. I was sitting in my satnd and a black lab chased a young deer onto the ice when it was real thin. The deer fell through in the middle of the river. 5 days later there was nothing to be found........ except the blood stained ice. That black lab kept coming back too........ too bad it never got w/in range. I talked to some neighbours and they all wanted to see the end of this dog. Next yr...... I'll have my trophy Lab. Funniest thing in the world is the owner is a deer lover....... won't let anyone hunt his property and illegally feeds them. Wow I'm gonna kill 2 birds with one stone. CO's are gonna find out about his feeding and I'm gonna shoot his dog.
That dang dog chased a 120+ buck away from me........ clear across the field the buck went. I never really thought about it till now. I had seen deer all season until the ice was on the river and the dog could cross. Sightings went down to once every 2-3 sits...... compared to seeing 4-5 per sit. Dog is catfish chum. Landowner says shoot him too.
Sorry for the rant.
