4) How far do wolves travel? Wolf packs usually hunt within a specific territory. It is not uncommon for territories to be as large as 50 square miles but they may even extend up to 1,000 square miles in areas where prey is scarce. Wolves often cover large areas to hunt, traveling as far as 30 miles a day. Although they trot along at 5 m.p.h., wolves can attain speeds as high as 40 m.p.h. Most wolves disperse from the pack they were born into by age three. Dispersing wolves have traveled as far as 600 miles. Yes wolves will look to kill the old young and weak Moose & bison still over 1000 lb still Impressive after maybe a week of not eating they then can eat 20 lbs at one meal. Most wolves will be on their own for some part of their life traveling 600 miles looking for a mate or territory no easy task from section 15 of that website PDF version http://www.fws.gov/midwest/wolf/biology/qas-biology.pdf No dog has the endurance of a wolf rarely faster or stronger very different lifestyles.
