Wolf Respawn Rate

[Partofla]

I'm curious, how long does it take for wolves to respawn after you kill them in an area generally? If you keep killing them, do they disappear for good?

If only that was the case!  There's a couple of "special" wolves that won't respawn, but the rest do.  I don't know the official respawn rates, but there ones outside camp office seem to come back about every two to three days.  In one of the updates they referred to it as migrating from another area.

They say that if you dont completely harvest a shot wolf, you have a longer grace period before another spawns to replace it

I have noticed that it's not only wolves that seem to "migrate". I used to see the deer near the trappers cabin more often, but it seems they spawn in other places more often.

Yeah, I always just take the guts and skin and leave the meat since there's that risk for parasites because it's a carnivore. I notice when I do this, I have several days before the wolves begin to spawn in again. I only take carnivore meat if I'd otherwise starve.

I do something similar - until lvl 5 cooking, then its bear kabobs for everyone!
