To be fair, some of his hunting trophies in the tavern, and to a certain extent his trophy bag, could point to him having hunted abroad (as the tavern's trophies included bighorn sheep and a bald eagle, and his trophy bag included raccoon pelts, animals that aren't exactly known to be prevalent in France).

Still, it's not very likely that he's Man from that film. If we are to assume Bambi took place during the same time period that the book was written, he'd have to exist during the early 20th century, over a century after Gaston's time.
