After gestation (63 days) about 6 pups are born in a den in the ground. When the wolf's reach 8 weeks old the parents move them to another den. By October the pups will weight about 60 pounds and are aloud to travel with adults. Little gray wolves usually stay with an adults for 2 years, making a pack.

The state and federal government held bounties on the wolves like their Greek ancestors did.  This started a widespread hunt for wolves. People used the methods of shooting, trapping, and poisoning the wolves.
