High winds this morning. WNW all morning and drew a blank. Hunted a ladder stand set on a ridge saddle between 2 thickets. Was out of stand at 9:30 to check a few areas for scrapes. Found 3 scrapes. Backed out and left alone. Back home got some coffee and regrouped. Decided to make a move on scrapes. Big track got blood a boiling. Pulled a climbing stand from another set and put it up 60 yards or so from scrape line. Backed out as wind was not right for the set. Will hunt tommorow morning if I can make it. Went to other farm to set up for evening. Thought of watching Colts but couldn't resist the urge for big buck. Seen small forky who ended up winding me at a dozen yards. Wind was swirling. Just before dark 2 does come out eating on persimmons. Wind got me again. Hope I didn't screw up the set. Bottom line, scrapes are being made, get on the first scrape line if possible. Persimmons are dropping and they are a magnet. Need to hunt stand in morning but sleeping in sounds good also. Will update tommorow night or tuesday.
