'''Fresh Wolf Pelt''' is the raw hide of a [[Wolf]], [[Timberwolf]], or [[Poisoned Wolf]]. It can be used as a [[Materials|Material]] for crafting or repairing [[Wolfskin Coat|Wolfskin Coats]] once they have [[Curing|Cured]] into a [[Cured Wolf Pelt]].

==Overview==
Fresh Wolf Pelts are acquired by harvesting a [[Wolf Carcass|Wolf]], [[Timberwolf Carcass|Timberwolf]], or [[Poisoned Wolf Carcass]]. They can then be cured by leaving them indoors for 7 days (in-game). Fresh Wolf Pelts [[Decay]] at a rate of 5 Condition a day (Stalker difficulty) and will decay into Ruined status if not left to cure indoors. The current curing status can be checked by hovering your reticle over the item, where it will display a "X% Cured" progress. This increases until the item is 100% cured, where the item will automatically become fully cured, will change to a darker texture, and is ready for crafting use. Completely cured items never decay.

Wolf Pelts can be dangerous or resource-expensive to obtain, since they requiring killing a Wolf with a [[Hunting Rifle]], [[Revolver]], or [[Survival Bow]].

An alternative but very dangerous method of obtaining a pelt involves allowing a Wolf [[struggle]] to begin, and then using a [[Hunting Knife]] or [[Improvised Knife]] to puncture a Wolf, then waiting a few hours for the Wolf to bleed out after it runs away. This method is incredibly dangerous if a survivor has very low [[Condition]] as it will often result in death.

Each Wolf Carcass (or variant) will always contain one pelt, along with [[Wolf Meat (Raw)|meat]] and [[Fresh Gut]]. Occasionally, dead ravaged Wolf Carcasses can be found across [[Great Bear Island]].
