Koskinie­mi cur­rent­ly is the firearms (rifle) state record hold­er for a bear he shot in 2017 that mea­sured 22 10⁄16 (inset).

Jesse Koskinie­mi has also shot this 685-pound (615 pounds field-dressed) black bear while using a muz­zle­loader in Wade­na Coun­ty on Oct. 3. The bear had a green score of 21 9⁄16. Cur­rent­ly, the largest bear tak­en via muz­zle­loader in Min­neso­ta scored 20 8⁄16. Koskinie­mi plans on a full-body mount of the recent­ly killed bru­in. Both bears will be on dis­play at the 2023 Min­neso­ta Deer and Turkey Clas­sic in Shakopee in March.
