Just build a large trap out of stone then use a high level argentavis to pick the wolf up and drop it in trap. Then you can take your time gettin supplies needed for taming. The are natural traps around island that can be used. And that trap you build can be use for other animals like equus etc. My highest dire wolf tame was lev. 300. Now I have 5 wolves time to breed them. And I can go anywhere on island with my wolf pac and dire bear. Dire bear are great they carry a ton and do lots of damage.
