I don't know if this is what happened, but the mess is gone.
If this isn't how this went down, then kudos to the individual(s) who did clean it up

I tend to believe you have the most logical answer, although being an avid ice fisherman myself and owner of 2 bobhouses I will say that during the course of the season the conditions change constantly on the ice. I started by blocking my shacks up 6" off the ice and by the end of the season I had to block them up another 8", a total of 14" from the original surface.
When I remove the houses at the end of the season I "try" to recover all my blockage to use again next season and sometimes it takes a couple of trips out to get them all without chiseling your arms off. I still have to make one more trip to retreive my last blocks which are still 6" down. But in any event, THIS person had a very sloppy unsightly area from the get go and unfortunately it got frozen into the ice. Glad it is gone, my favorite ice fishing forum are bashing this guy worse than this site is. We do not like the bad PR.
