In my experience there has been an adjustment to prior spawn amounts, frequencies and locations. In the location (on 2 separate map seeds) where I built my main base, just over 1 year ago, there were a few boar and deer spawns along with greylings, greydwarves and skeletons. I placed a few packs of 2 star wolves around the outside of my defences and for the first 6 months or so I was occasionally feeding them. Around March of 2022, not only did the frequency of all the aforementioned creatures spawn rates increase, but the locations of where they spawned increased. I am not exaggerating when I say the deer were literally respawning behind me after killing them. It got to the point where I no longer fed my wolfpacks and had to cull them constantly.
I remember when I first started I often had to wait a game day or two for the boar & deer outside my defences to respawn in the location I had marked on my map. Now they respawn repeatedly throughout the day in many more locations than they used to.
In an old build I just let the wolves free roam outside my fortifications. They would stay around base and some wander. I'd find some a looooooong way away, just randomly wandering with some pups around. Was pretty entertaining to see how far they would wander out away. Of course too, there were tons of dead mob loot around from them as well.
