He is considered by many a top authority on North & South American big game hunting as well as hunting rifles, ammunition, and ballistics.

In the mid-'90s, West recognized the potential of the internet and became one of the pioneers in his industry by establishing one of the first websites, which quickly gained traction among outdoor enthusiasts. Encouragement from friends and clients led him to venture into television, where he created his own outdoor adventure show that has been on air for over two decades, captivating audiences with thrilling tales of wilderness encounters. Throughout his career, West has been a staunch advocate for responsible management of wildlife populations, particularly focusing on the conservation of grizzly bears in regions like Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho.
