If I'm hunting the leeward side I would have to be below the trail to have my scent not carry across the trail (envisioning a ridge where I'm on the right side). Hunting ridges- obviously the lower you are the higher you have to climb. If I'm 20 ft or so below in elevation I'd have to climb at least 20 ft to be parallel with the trail. Is that right?

You want to be hunting above the trail you expect the deer to be coming down.
I would also set up on the high side of the thermal tunnel and get as high as you can cuz you want that prevailing wind to carry your scent over the thermal tunnle..... you don't want it swirling around in there...
