The dust has settled and readers have chosen a winner for Yellowknifer's Manliest Man contest.
Mike Yorston, a pilot for Air Tindi with a love for hunting, fishing and car races, won after a marathon contest that ended with him edging his nearest competitor, Gary Burt, by a single vote.
The pair exchanged leads several times up until the Wednesday 5 p.m. deadline. Votes for Burt were still coming in during the dying minutes but Yorston remained ahead with 161 votes over 160 cast for Burt.
Readers cast a total of 521 votes for the six nominees in the contest. Yorston was busy flying at press time and could not be reached for comment. His win earns him a $200 gift certificate towards dinner at The Office dining lounge plus another $200 towards his favourite charitable cause, Ducks Unlimited.
Yellowknifer would like to thank all those made nominations for the contest, the voters and the nominees for participating.
A big cheer for Mike Yorston, Yellowknifer's Manliest Man. Below are the final vote counts for all the Manly Men. Congratgulations to all for being great sports.
