Default Did I blow it?

Our first season starts tomorrow and I was not able to get my 2 pop=up blinds out due to work and weather till this morning. I knew where the turkeys hang out most of the time.
I get in there and find an open place and deploy the blind. I know the turkeys roost in that area for I deer hunt that area as well.
Just as I am leaving, I start to follow a deer trail a few yards and then up ahead I notice something out the corner of my eye and see a tom strutting and a hen sitting about 6 feet off the ground in front of him They see me, I see them, I just turn to my right and slowly walk out of the timber back to my truck.
Do you feel that I can hunt that blind in the next day or so or did I screw it up?

Forgot to say that this is my first turkey hunt and at 48 years old and haveing hunted all over the US, Canada and Argentina, I have never killed a turkey yet!!!!!!! Even killed 2 hogs a month ago with a knife (have on video!!) and never a turkey, seems rather strange at best. I am also using a bow to boot.
