RE: breaking the ice?
Is there any snow on the ground at all.If there is any snow to eat on the ground at all they will abandon standing water not sure about flowing water like rivers or creeks but up here even if the ponds or lakes are not froze over and there is snow it will be snow guaranteed. I have seen this and observed this for many years. Plus even pen raised deer I have had would do this.

what he is trying to say is that if there is snow laying on top of the ground (soil, earth, dirt, grass, whatever) the deer will eat the snow to gain their water supply rather than go to standing water such as a stream, river, pond, pool, creek, lake. hope that covers all the bases. Personally i wouldn't due to the large amount of noise created and the fact that deer if wanting that water would keep a spot cleared no matter how cold it was.
