On opening day of the hunt, while hunting a special draw area in Wainwright, Alberta, Mike Kociuba downed this big buck.
Mike writes, "He has a 1-inch sticker on the back side of his right side, not seen in any pictures we took. 6x7 plus one browtine. He green scored 197 5/8. Taken with my trusty 300 Winchester Weatherby Magum with 165 grain reloads. It took 2 weeks to take the grin off my face!!"

Great photos Mike!
