Im now in a long conversation with the ecologist of Madikwe GR. Thankfully he is a really nice guy and is also very interested about lion datas. We even shared datas together about Kruger lions. He is at the moment in contact with the reserve management and the head guide of the lodges. I will publish it when new informations are available.

Guides from lodges aren’t researchers so take everything they say in regards to capture weights with a grain of salt.

Also i said im in contact with the ecologist. He said to me "I will check with William Knight (Head guide) where he obtained his information".

You misunderstood my post.

Studying ecology has nothing to do with the capture, treatment and weight of wild animals. You need to speak with a zoologist/biologist who's involved in the actual capture, measurements and weighing. 
And unless William Knight provides the names allegedly responsible and then you specifically speak with them, then all claims should not be used as fact. Like we've seen numerous times, it only gets you in trouble when using 2nd hand sources. Reply
