The Gimp

[WNYBuckHunter]

This buck has been given the name The Gimp for obvious reasons. We are pretty sure he got hit by a car last year. Hes been scraping and is pretty elusive, as we have only had 1 daytime sighting of him. Havent figured out where hes bedding yet. Im waiting for more snow this year to track him down, his trail is blatantly obvious, as he drags his rear leg. Amazing how tough these animals are. I hope he makes it to next year, Im guessing hes 2 1/2 this year, but who knows, cant get a good read on him due to the injury.

amazing animals. Just makes me laugh at how wimpy us humans can be.

Is he putting some weight and have some use of it? Is hind quarter muscle would have atrophy, especially if it is over a year of no use. It doesn't look that bad from these pics.

Its gotta be close to or over a year, the injury caused the deformed antler. I think he uses the leg to a point, Ive never watched him walk. Maybe I should put the cam on video mode and see if he shows again. The pears are a big draw right now. Check out his spine, really twisted up.

Gotta give him credit for being a survivor !  Hope he hits lots of Does !

Cwd? It was hit by a car.

Anyway, the gimp lost his limp three days ago when the farm manager spotted him on the edge of the orchard and made him her first buck, and first deer, ever. Im waiting on the jaw bone. She was not able to get much meat off of him.

What was up with the meat that made it unpalatable?

It wasnt that it was unpalatable, but one whole side was atrophied, and there wasnt much there.

Never said I didnt know what it is. I just dont know the reference, as Ive never watched the show.

Watched?  Didn't know you they had a version you could WATCH?  I listen to it on the radio at night.  91.9 on "Tuned to Yesterday".  Love old time radio programs.  Not real big on Gunsmoke but I like Have Gun Will Travel.  How about Throckmorten P. Gildersleeve?

 

Oh yeah, neat buck; it is amazing how tough they are.
