What is the best way to dull the shine on new tags?

I put them on before I dye traps every year. Take shine away but unimportant when they are buried

I do not worry about the shine of the tags I just put them on before dye and wax or dip them or do not worry about it at all and just put them on .

I just wrap one around a link in the chain or just zip tie one to the bottom of the trap.

Flat black spray paint works for me


Give a lazy man a hard job and he will find a way to make it easy

Throw them all in a metal coffee can, and heat them red hot with a torch. They will be tarnished when they cool down:
I have to give Bill Hunt from NY credit for showing us this one year at Minktoberfest.

OR a swivel.

Thieves don't often find them wrapped up tight as opposed to hanging loose.
