In this episode we speak with Michael Haby, the founder and owner of Orange Corn Company. Michael had been hunting for years in an orange grove when one day the light bulb went off as he was watching a deer devour an orange he had discarded from his blind.
I tried oranges in a hog trap one time. Nothing touched them. I don’t think the deer around here would have ever been exposed to citrus fruit. If I was going to feed it, I’d start in the early summer and let them get used to it. You dump it today and hunt tomorrow, you might spook everything in the area.
One of the inlaws picked some up one time a couple years ago. It got ate up down in South Texas, but when I brought a bag up here to hill country it laid on the ground for a few days before the squirrels finally finished it up.
I had been using it for a couple years and the deer really like it. I recently quit using it due to it being some of the dirtiest corn I have ever seen. Many of my friends did the same. Hope they clean it up. I would go back to it
