Their location: Wolves usually inhabit mountainous regions with tall trees and/or snowy weather. Try places such as Oregon (Sierra Mountains), or Idaho (Sawtooth Mountains), or Yellowstone Park. They're basically just about everywhere in Northern USA, but these are probably the best places to find them.
step 2:
Their territory: Wolves are territorial, and hardly ever roam too far away from their territories. My suggestion would be to search a place that has a plentiful water supply, or lake and/or stream, that's where their territories almost always are.
step 3:
The waiting: You must wait once you're in their territory, DON'T RUSH! I would put myself out in the open so as to not startle them. If you see a wolf, FREEZE AND DON'T MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, one mistake can scare it away, or threaten it. See, wolves are naturally scared of humans, or feel threatened by them ever since they started ranching. Even though they love people, they just can't trust them anymore, regretfully.
step 4:
The faith: If you've waited like 1 hour and haven't seen a wolf, please don't give up, just have faith, trust me. Remember, nature doesn't let up on anyone unless you give up yourself...Meaning, nature and wildlife have it's ways just as long as you have faith in what you're doing to succeed, you don't have to go to wolves, they will come to you, I promise.
step 5:
The beginning of friendship: Once you have found a wolf or two, or maybe even three (if you're lucky), give them their space and don't move very much. What they will probably do will be to watch you closely. This is a very critical moment between you and the wolf/wolves, make no mistakes and follow my instructions very closely. If by the offchance they approach sooner than 10 minutes, don't worry about step 6 much, this means that they want you off their territory, probably because of some incident that happened recently within the pack that upset them, (could be anything, such as death or starvation) GET OFF THEIR TERRITORY AND TRY AGAIN ANOTHER DAY starting from step 1. Please wait like 4-5 days before trying again. If they stay their distance you keep your's as well. Don't make much noise either, new relationships with wild creatures requires minimum mistakes and maximum knowledge of what's going on. Sounds tough, but it's not as hard as many people think. Use step 6 at your advantage.
step 6:
The trust: After thirty minutes or so, it/they will get curious and start approaching you slowly. Remember, relationships take time, especially with wild animals, don't try rushing it, such as sticking your hand out, or speaking to it, it just doesn't work that way...It/They will probably get no closer than 20 feet away, then stop and watch you even closer. You must wait on it/them to get used to your presence, which gives you more time to get used to their's. If by the offchance it/they start growling, DON'T PANIC, what it/they are actually doing is warning you to keep your distance and to not "fear attack" them. Once it/they feel you're not a threat, it/they will come at touching distance, DON'T BE AFRAID OR FEEL ANY KIND OF FEAR OR NERVOUSNESS AND DON'T CONSIDER IT/THEM A THREAT. This is probably the most critical part of it all, remember, it all boils down to love and friendship.
step 7:
The love: Now, what it/they will do next is always a mystery, but usually it/they will sniff you and get to know you a little better, LET THEM, go ahead and sit down with them, you can try to touch them, but be aware of any warnings they might give you because trust hasn't built up enough. If you try and touch them, they might growl and they might not, if they growl, don't fear, NEVER FEAR, this is just a warning meaning trust hasn't built up enough for physical contact. Don't be discouraged, trust takes time, and eventually you and the wolves will be lifelong friends.
step 8:
The partnership: Finally, the last step, once they allow you to touch them and they don't growl, (which will take about 20 minutes), then trust has been built high enough for you to get up and walk with them, they will follow, and both your's and their's relationship's will prosper and turn to love. Let them teach you their ways, because they can and they will, if you spend time with them enough. Go out everyday and spend time with them, but make sure the first day you spend the night with them, (I know what you're thinking), and yes you must spend the night out in the wilderness (c'mon it's only one night). Im serious when I say spend the night, if you leave too soon it might mess your relationship up. So to show your love to the wolves, spending the night with them is the best thing you could do, I promise. And after that you don't have to spend the night anymore if you don't want to, but make sure you return EVERY DAY to prove your love to them. Try bringing them food, or water, but don't do it too often, or they will start relying on you and won't hunt for themselves, only do it up to two times. If you've completed every step I taught you, you should have a wolfpack as friends forever and as "allies in nature".
