Coyote.
I wouldn't suspect the people. They usually use weapons. It was probably coyotes.Good question. I forgot to mention that there were people and dogs out on the ice, so unfortunately there were tons of dog tracks all around. It was impossible to tell if they were from the people and the dogs running around or from earlier. The deer tracks were easier to identify and while there were definitely running dog tracks it wasn't possible to tell if they were new ones or from the kill...

Ha Ha good one! Yes I think we can safely rule out the people.... Usually they also take what they kill. Heck it was intact enough that I had thoughts of maybe taking it myself, but then decided against it because it's relatively small as it is and I was sure once I skinned it that most of the good meat would have been damaged.... I still may skin it when it warms up this weekend to check out the damage and maybe I can make myself some gloves or a hat or something. Right now it's frozen completely solid, so I don't think anything could eat it anyway.
