In this article he writes that the Silinda spillway had dried up and all the game had moved out then the floods came ( 10 years later ) and with it the game returned . You need to understand he will never ruin a good story with the truth , watch his films and the continuity of the lions and the background vegetation - he splices completely different lions and scenes to tell a story - the reality and the truth have no bearing in his world. He will continue to be a voice against hunting as he is connected with Hollywood.

Couldn't agree more on his splicing of scenes, as well as fabricated stories to tug on the heart strings of the uninformed. Long before first setting foot on the African continent I recall some of his "documentaries". Even then it was easy to peg his stories as fiction, fabricated to elicit a strong emotional response from the viewers.

Seems he's also diligent in removing any attempts at rebuttals to his response, which is about as genuine as his documentaries.

Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if
you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on
the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the
day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely
killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed
because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always
recapture the day - Robert Ruark

Watch the "Eternal Enemies" and I seem to recall around the 30-40 minute mark there is a scene where a male Lion attacks a Hyena at night and if you slow it down or play frame by frame, one can see a rope around the Lions neck.
