While the man relating the story may believe what he said was true, I can not.

If there were ten wolves attacking him, I can not perceive him having the speed or energy to hack at them successfully with an axe. They would have attacked him from multiple sides and once they got him off balance, it would have been over for him.

In addition to my personal belief (Yes I know I am not always right.), the people that checked him out said there were no marks or scratches on his body that were consistent with a wolf attack.

The last time I saw someone successfully beating off a wolf attack in the wilds was an old Stewart Granger film, and he had two hatchets or tomahawks with his back to a rock. Just remember, that was a movie where revolvers have 317 shots before you have to reload. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
