Wolfe was harshly criticised for his photos with the carcass.<\/p>\n<p>Wolfe posted on Instagram that he fell 10 feet from a rockface while descending from the mountain with carcass. He claimed that someone called him asking if Wolfe wanted to go stalk a mountainlion. \u201cwreaking havoc in a rural neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe had already killed two of her dogs and was living under her porch, nervous [about] what he might do next,\u201d Wolfe, who is 6\u20195\u201d, wrote. \u201cWe found a fresh 4\u00d74 mule deer he had just killed. We hiked straight up 2500 ft and down the other side, then back up again, back down the other side and then back up again to 9600 ft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExhausted, dehydrated, cramping I drew back my\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hoytbowhunting\/\">@hoytbowhunting<\/a>\u00a0and sent an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sevrbroadheads\/\">@sevrbroadheads<\/a>\u00a0through him,\u201d Wolfe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Cnm8rzyPS7r\/\">continued<\/a>. \u201cThen I had to crawl backwards down the mountain with him to get him to the truck I fell 10 ft off a rock face on the way down lol. Any guess how big this thing was?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some social media users <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TMZ_Sports\/status\/1616182042365935643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took Wolfe to task<\/a>These comments are included in the article:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMountain lions don\u2019t terrorize. They survive. Humans, like one of the most disappointing high draft choices of the Broncos terrorize. Shame on you for celebrating this.\u201d\u201cImagine living in a \u2018rural neighborhood\u2019 of a \u2018mountain town\u2019 and thinking that your [sic] being \u2018terrorized\u2019 by a mountain lion.\u201d\u201cGrant is not a city. When you live in rural Colorado you sign up for living WITH wildlife. There are guidelines for NOT making your dogs a food source. Go back to Kentucky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others saw things differently:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet him back on the team right now.\u201d\u201cI guess a Wolfe is more bad*** than a lion.\u201d\u201cMountain lion hunting season is now. He had a permit. The state of Colorado manages the mountain lion population thru hunting permits. Pertinent details that should\u2019ve been included in the report.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Wolfe played between 2012 and 2019, then signed with Baltimore Ravens. He signed a one day contract with the Broncos in 2022 so that he could retire here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m happy to be done with the game because (the injuries) were piling up and I know my wife is very happy not to have to watch me crawl into the shower every morning,\u201d He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/nfl\/article\/derek-wolfe-signs-one-day-deal-to-retire-as-a-denver-bronco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stated<\/a>. \u201cIt was just getting bad, so it was time to call it \u2026 I get to be a father; I get to be a husband.
