Nah, it aint Gimpy. He is way too young to be him. I assume its just a little guy who damaged his horn real early in velvet.
And no one got him. We did pick up one of his sheds though, so he is out there..... The last 3 years we did not get the first pics of him till late season. He just comes for the food when it is gone in his core area (wherever that is...)
