Justin Wigley of Huntington has shot some really nice bucks over the years, but none to compare to the bruiser of a whitetail that came calling on the afternoon of Nov. 3. It was the bewitching hour — roughly 20 minutes before sunset. The buck stepped out in an opening in the company of four does about 80 yards of Wigley’s box blind situated deep in the heart of his 1,200-acre lease in Angelina County.
Wigley, 47, said he didn’t have to think twice about lining up the buck in the crosshairs. Pulling the trigger was easy.
“He got by me the day before, so I didn’t waste any time when I got a second chance,” Wigley said. “When you saw him, you definitely knew what your were looking at. There was no mistaking that buck.”
