Mary Duke Guldan has a couple of Bison patterns in her book "A Woodcarver's Workbook #2" .
Also several older Chip Chats issues have Bison(Buffalo) patterns according to my records.
Forgot to say there is also a pattern in the WCI Xmas 1998 issue.

Frank Russell has one in Carving Realistic Animals with Power, and he has a slightly different one in Carving Patterns by Frank C. Russell. I think the second one is a little more realistic-looking.

This just may be me but I dont like to use other artist patterns of carvings. My high school art teacher convinced me I should use an original source. Before internet I would scour the library for pictures of my subject but now we have the net. Just my two cents we all will put our own stank on what we carve.
