Came out of laredo a few days back and found some frisky critters sniffing my truck at the check station,heard it was going to happen before they even did it.
Beefed up inspections at the check stations on big trucks has started again with those oh so hyped up drug sniffing dogs nose in around your trucks doors.
I'd say don't keep the jerky in your drivers side door pouch if you don't want to attract any attention, those critters looked hungry.
I can only imagine what would transpire had I left my venison jerky in the door pouch like I usually do because its easier to reach down and grab a bite on the roll than to reach out and over to the cooler or passenger seat without stopping the truck.

Those dogs are "more professional" than many drivers out here. I would expect you could hang a piece of jerky on your door step and not attract any unusual dog attention. They may be more apt to alert on the smell of coffee than dried meat.
fins2feathers and SHC Thank this. -
So when the dogs are "working", they aren't looking for drugs, they are looking for their "toy" so when they catch the scent, they are bound and determined to find it.
Jerky might catch their attention but its no where near the passion they'd show if they sniffed some 420!Big Don, SHC and fins2feathers Thank this. -
My cousin works as a Border Patrol agent in Ocala. His K9 is trained very well, and it does alert on coffee as stated above. Many smugglers try to hide marajauna and cocaine in cases filled with coffee grounds. So they just trained the dogs to go on point at the smell of coffee.
