I hunt much terrain like you are describing and have had good success. Killed one Monday in an area just like you are describing.
You don’t need a stand just sit on the ground or a millennium tree seat Sit up top and watch the first bench or saddles in the mornings. Especially if they are near thick briars/bedding.
You will Need to be lower in the evenings because the thermals will be pulling your scent down.
Make sure you have the prevailing wind to your face and always be aware of the thermals pulling your scent up in the morning and pulling scent down In The evening. The thermals will swap and overpower any prevailing winds.
SPOT ON - those thermals and odd wind currents will get you busted often.
