Stars and Fireflies Dance

What happens in June at Turtle Creek? We work on deer stands, clear trails, create habitat and plant food plots. Then we watch for fawns, and the fireflies, which illuminate the hay fields in June.

Hunters typically know what the night skies look like in autumn. These photos show what the night skies offer in June.

While taking these photos, I heard hooves close by. A tiny mag light showed me a big doe walking by at 30 yards. I turned off the light and continued shooting the skyline. The doe stopped about 50 yards away (guessing by the sound, cuz I couldn’t see her, and evidently she couldn’t see me)  and snorted for at least 5 minutes before taking off. She stomped the ground and snorted loud enough to easily fill the valley with her snorts. Just another interesting deer encounter.
