Find a Mate

Winter is coming, so it's time to start looking for a mate. Now that you are a good hunter, you'll find other dispersal wolves who also left their family pack in search of a mate. As in real life, you will want to travel and hunt together for a time before deciding whether or not to start a pack together.

A new home to raise a new pack! With your pups coming soon, you first need to establish a territory to help keep your little pack safe. Much of this area is as yet unclaimed by other packs, so explore, hunt, mark, howl, and fight to claim your turf.

Find a Den

Now that you have explored and established your pack's territory, it is time to choose a good den site to have your first litter of pups. There's no need to dig a new den for yourself, as there are plenty of abandoned burrows made by coyotes, foxes, badgers, and ground squirrels that just need to be expanded for your needs. Look for gaps under large boulders or cavities underneath old tree roots. Your den will keep your little pups safe as they grow.

Raise Pups

Your pups have arrived! They emerge from the den at about six weeks, weaned and eating regurgitated meals. Hunt and eat extra to fill up your growing pups! Soon they will also eat meat from your kills.

Protect your young from dangerous predators who are looking for an easy meal or to eliminate future competition.

Socialize and play with your pups to build pack affinity.

Journey to a Summer Home

Your pups have outgrown the den, so it's time to move to a summer home closer to the elk herds that have migrated up to higher elevations.

Traveling with pups can be perilous. Predators are lurking. There may be swift waters to cross. Pups do their best to keep up as you lead them to summer rendezvous site. Can you keep them safe?

Growing Pups

Your pups are growing rapidly! They need all the food that you can provide. Unfortunately, elk and other prey are now at peak vitality after grazing on nutritious grasses all summer.

This means that you have a tough stretch ahead of you. Try to keep your pups from starving, or succumbing to sickness when weak from hunger. But don't expect to keep them all alive. This is the most deadly season for pups.

Young Hunters

Until new pups are born next year, your pack is nomadic, following the elk herds. Home is where the pack is.

Now nearly six months old, your pups are nearly adult-sized, though they still lack mass and muscle. But they are strong enough to begin learning how to hunt! They'll gain experience from each hunt and eventually will dare to take quick bites. But those prey have sharp, dangerous hooves. Encourage your pups to practice hunting without getting themselves killed.
