With the rising prices of copper and RISING prices of tag makers, HERE is a method to "MAKE YOUR OWN" trap tags!! Works best in states w/a trapper ID # as opposed to name. Items required hammer,number stamps,snips,raw copper(salvage yard,left over from gutter work),suitable stamping surface, an evening or two watching TV. SUPPLIES:Use your snips and cut your tags,copper cuts EASILY however good snips keep the blisters away.This is about 5min worth of sniping. 92 tags ready to stamp!NOW use your number stamps and stamp your number..start at the RIGHT side and stamp backwards, I put 6 on the metal at a time, stamp one number on all, then the next on all,stamping in reverse order till done!! VERY easy to do. Works Best on my setup on the carpet in front of the TV. I can stamp out WAY over 100 just watching one 1hr shot on tv.The finished product..This method is VERY easy,VERY quick (several hundred a night w/OUT wasting any time).[size:11pt] NOW FOR THE GOOD PART!! (COST) 6lbs copper scrap 22.00 tags produced per lb 150 total tags produced 900 cost PER TAG 2.44c EACH cost per 100 $2.44 WHO SAYS it's cheeper to buy em??? MAKE YOUR OWN!!![/size] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx These tags are HEAVY COPPER and do NOT require wire to afix them to the chain, merely WRAP them around and give them a light squeeze in the center w/a small pair of channel locks.. they will NOT come off.Had a fish/game officer check my tag, said he had to use his leatherman to get it off!! Broke a nail he did!! lynx

Already stamped copper tags are $50 a thousand. I have a little more important things to do with my time for $50. But each to his own way.

Hey Brent, I'm usually doing business on the phone. And I'm usually needing 1,000 or more tags at a time. Also have several state tag #'s to place on tag so your way would leave me to big of a tag. I also said each to his own. It works for you great for the rest of us probably not. But is a good way for some youngster to get started with tags.
