According to the Boone and Crocket club 1999 11th edition. The Polar bear, taken by Shelby Lonoria of Matamoros, Mexico, continues to hold the world's record. In the spring of 1963 this bear was taken near Kotzebue, Alaska.

This is a great book to look at world records, while several records have not been recorded and sit in peoples homes, many have been lost in time. Hope this helps.
