Default Ground blinds

Just returned from the field where I was busted by a nice 8 pointer. Due to the wind, I placed a ground blind about 10yds downwind of an entry to a bean field. Around 15 min prior to closing, the buck walked out but immediately caught sight of the new blind in his backyard. He didn't like what he saw and bolted. Any suggestions for preventing this in the future. I'm thinking that I should have been farther back in the trees. I have a hunch he caught the blind in his peripheral vision. Thanks.

Turkeys don't mind seeing new blinds, but deer are a different story; they have tobebrushed in, and if you can do that and leave them where you're hunting for a while in advance of the hunt, all the better.
