I vacuum pack and freeze mine cause if I leave them in the fridge they disappear... I usually only leave jerky in a paper sack on the counter.

The paper bagged sticks will stay around 2 weeks before they get dried out.

You must have a much better hiding spot that I do... they only last a few days here.

I have an empty plastic Miracle Whip jar and drilled holes in the lid. It works well to keep sticks in. But they still disappear fast.  ;D ;D

Actually I think it is a bad idea... I'd be drinking one night and get the munchies and start eating dog treats then my wife who is sleeping on the couch would wake up and tell me the cookies I'm eating are dog treats... why does that sound so familiar???
