His confidence must currently be off the charts.

It's like he's from the future and he's not afraid because he knows what's going to happen  

Jokes aside, he's becoming a living legend.  I hope things continue to go in his favor.

I was concerned for him, for quite awhile, wondering how damaged his psyche was after the bashings Tyson laid on him. Wondering if he could hunt with his injury, could he run away if cornered by a coalition, etc... It was obvious from the start that he was going to be a very large male, but all that size does little for him if he has no confidence.

Since then, I believe he has put most, if not all, of those concerns to bed, showing he can kill kudu by himself, and protect it from a pack of hyenas, feeding with the Ross Males, then unfased when confronted by an elephant. We don't have the ability to know what his future holds, but it could be a really bright one if he plays his cards straight.

I remember watching a recent youtube video that included the YBM and it was mentioned that he walks with a slight limp but he's been seen running like he has no injury.

Yeah, I don't think his injury is going to be as impactful as many initially believed. Clearly he killed a kudu all on his own, and you are correct his limp has improved quite a lot over time. Reply
