The summer is a time of growth. The Winter coat is long gone, replaced by a short summer coat.

At This time the pups are still using the den, the mother will again start hunting with the pack, the pups are never left alone. This is a time of play and fun for the pups, the adult wolves put up with a lot of puppy abuse! At about eight weeks of age they abandon the den and move to a 'rendezvous' site. these areas are more centrally located to the area that the pack is hunting.

This is a time the young wolves learn to hunt, eventually they will be part of the hunt, there place in the pack will also start to be determined.

Most of the wolves' activities take place at night, this is to avoid the heat of the day. The wolf will follow the gravel bars and river beds, they will also keep to the high ridges for a good view of possible prey.

They way wolves hunt in the summer is similar to winter hunting, but they are not hampered by the elements.
