There are other good starting spots for sure, but these jumped out to me. So, am I on the right track? Suggestions, places I screwed up? Thanks.

Yes I believe those look pretty good, just as the ridge line begins to drop heavily in elevation. Which one to hunt depends a lot on wind direction and how you can access them

I used different colors for different winds based on what I've learned here so far. Red for north, yellow for west, orange for northwest, pink for west, and purple for southwest. I left due south winds out for this one. I have some of those picked on a different area of this property not seen in this picture. Am I on the right track with those thoughts?

Looks good... Only thing I could add is that most points have a variance of winds... Meaning that you might have it listed for say a "north" wind, but they might ( or might not) bed there on N.E. - N - N.W. & West... when you scout the area with compass in hand as I do, that will become more evident.
