That leg looks so deformed, like it would be quite unusual for a bad hunt to cause that kind of position/atrophy....but if a guide/ranger actually saw it happen and you heard it firsthand from such a person, then I'll keep an open mind.
It was not like that initially.
But he is not using that leg whatsoever for ~3 years or so, so muscles completly deterioated and only bone is left in that position.

So are you implying you heard that he was injured in a hunt from someone who saw this happen? Or from someone who thinks that's what happened?

Initially? Is there a picture of when he wasn't injured and his leg was normal looking? Could you post this? Never saw the before/after photos. Would be nice to compare if possible.

I dont have.
Maybe try to search their sightings from late 2020/early 2021, i believe in this period he started limping.

Tanda Tula update
The River Pride were present for the first few days, and we found them close to camp on a couple of occasions. However, the lionesses dropped the cubs off in the central region as the week drew to a close and then headed north over our border, not returning for a couple of days. The cubs were seen sitting and waiting patiently for mom’s return, but to no avail; we await their return eagerly. The roars of the Vuyela males could be heard every night, and four of them spent most of the week in the eastern sections. The male with the injured eye is doing well, but his wound does seem to be bothering him. He was seemingly drawn to the sound of feeding lions tantalisingly close to our southern boundary one morning before he headed back north. From reports, it seems as though it was the eleven subadults of the Mayambula that were just outside our concession, but a couple of days later their tracks did return to the area for the first time in some time. Interestingly, that same morning they could be heard fighting over a carcass to the west, I could also hear lions fighting over a carcass in the east, but with the windy conditions and lack of tracks, we were unable to find them. Further west, the Sark Breakaways were around for a couple of days, but this was at the same time that the Giraffe Pride were also in the west – it was a case of if it doesn’t rain, it pours!

They are still young and I was worry they won't make it as Birminggam breakaways take over their mathernal pride. On the other note I am cheering up for the potential white cubs in Mayambula pride.

How old are the Mayambula subs?
And yeah it's quite possible to see white cubs in the Mayambula pride.
