There is a whole world of canon contained in that question.

There is no need to "wait till March" to bring someone back. The timing of Peter's resurrection had to do with how long he had been dead - not the time of the year.

It was also a fairly complicated situation that has yet to be replicated. 1. Peter was an Alpha at the time of his death.

B. From what we saw it involved lots of wolfsbane, the strength provided to werewolves during a full moon and the blood of an Alpha (in this case one that was related to him).

3. Peter had planned it and downloaded it all into Lydia's brain to get her to carry out the plan.

Boyd was just dead.
