If ticks can survive a North Dakota winter they can survive three days in the freezer. And I seen folks lose their hides for a dead tick. Seems paying Juan to cross the hides is easier. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

easttex Report post Posted January 18, 2022 In my experience, if no USDA personnel are present, Border Patrol agents will still inspect capes. The degree of scrutiny varies considerably! As an aside, this year our deer had very few ticks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
