If you are seeing good doe activity, you are in a good spot. Just need to be there when the bucks really start chasing. South facing ridges are absolutely the best spot to be when the temps drop below freezing. When the sun hits that ridge side the deer will move through. Does move through, and the rut starts kicking, the bucks will move through too. The advice on thermals is spot on and bucks will use thermals to scent check areas.
