This past weekend, Steve West, founder and host of Steve’s Outdoor Adventures TV (stevesoutdooradventures.com), officially secured the Muzzleloader World Record grizzly bear, eclipsing the previous score by a full three inches, at 26 2/16″ B&C.
The score was made official by Kenny Leo, a long-time B&C scorer based in Price, Utah.
“This is an incredible bear,” said Leo, “and to take a world record on film for television is not something you see every day. It was a pleasure to be asked to score this bear for Steve.”

It takes the exhilarating experience of hunting one step further, by combining the one shot challenge with a nostalgic awareness that hunting has been done this way well over 250 years.” said Dave Ehrig, for the Longhunter Society.
