Completing quests is one great way to get wolf meat. Occasionally, you will be assigned quests that involve hunting down wolves to earn points for the scoreboard. By doing this, you will get rewards. You can also do it if your sole purpose is to get wolf meat.

Wolves can be found in various locations across the Fallout 76 map, but they gather in groups at specific spawn points. So, if you're searching for wolves, check the areas mentioned below.

One of the best spots to find wolves in Fallout 76 is Autumn Acre Cabin, northeast of the Top of the World building. This location consistently spawns a pack of four or five wolves, making it an ideal spot for wolf hunting.

Another location where several wolves can be found is Huntersville; specifically, the cemetery near it.

Investigator’s Cabin also has a high rate of wolf spawns, so consider going as it's also relatively easy to locate them. There, you can find three wolves consistently appearing nearby.

Another two wolf spawn locations are Window’s Perch and Riverside Manor. Expect to find a pack of wolves at Widow’s Perch and a group of three wolves at Riverside Manor.

A great alternative to finding wolves in Fallout 76 is participating in Leader of the Pack. It is a time-limited event where players are required to locate and defeat three packs of wolves along with their leaders. The challenge begins after interacting with Melody Larkin and exploring wolf spawn locations like Aaronholt Homestead, Tyler County Fairgrounds, or Transmission Station 1AT-U03.

The event lasts 10 minutes and occurs randomly. By eliminating four wolves, including the pack leader, you can earn rewards of 30 Bottle Caps and 250 XP. You will also get to obtain legendary items that the pack leader may drop.

This event will help you find the best locations for farming wolves on the map as well as unlocking another event called Wolf Horde: The Forest. From there, you will encounter even more mutated creatures.
