In the post, he detailed his effort to take down the lion in Grant. The animal was terrorizing the neighborhood village and had killed two dogs of a woman. He wrote that he was scared as to what the lion what do next. Hence, the hunter and fisherman took the matters into his own hands.
He noticed a corpse of a mule and assumed that the lion killed it. When he hiked further and completed a hard journey. Then he encountered the animal. “Exhausted, dehydrated, cramping,” Wolfe said, “I drew back my [bow] and sent an [arrow] through him. Then I had to crawl backwards down the mountain with him to get him to the truck I fell 10ft off a rock face on the way down lol.”
Many fans found this incident spectacular.
I guess a Wolfe is more badass than a lion.
