One of the very best bets for that, if you have a scanner... is to take a day and go to the magazine section of Half-Price books or the local equivalent and browse the back issues of Peterson's Hunting and other magazines for articles on Alaska Brown Bear and Grizzly hunting... then search for images of hides stretched out for display. After that, Lon Chaney has some pretty cool and effective yutorial for turning the images into lattices to apply the image textures to. With photoshop and bryce4 - instant bear, deer, buffalo or elkskin rug, wallah...
