Thanks for the replies, I was probably over thinking it since a lot of guys around here use hog rings and leave the tag flat.

If I left the we tag flat id be replacing tags after every catch. Wrap the around the chain or swivel. Another good spot is to drill holes in base and tag and rivet them to bottom of base. Never get chewed off there. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

How do most of y'all attach your trap tags? I usually wrap mine around one side of the chain link. I'm just curious if others that have done it that way have gotten a hard time from game wardens. By wrapping them I have never lost a tag after a coyote catch. Thanks This is how I do mine. x2 for many years.

I was hog ringing mine and last year i had a Game warden at a catch of mine where the coyote tore the tag off and it was no where to be found. Luckily he understood and could see my hog ring on the chain. I showed him half a dozen traps in my truck with the same setup and same tag on same link on every trap so he was cool with it. A jerk could technically of written me a ticket. This year all will be wrapped on my swivels or chain like the above posted pick.

I use to pop rivet mine to the bottom of the trap frame. I wrap my tags around the chain link or my quick link.

“I fold my tag in half around the chain, then i fold the end of the tag together and crimp with a pair of pliers. Tag is still readable most of the time and seem to last a long time that way. They do get damaged once in a while, but it is a fast way to attach.” Quoted from above.

That is what I have been doing for 44 years. Easy, quick, reliable. Game warden approved as of 2017.
Edit: I also use trap tags on cable restraints (snares).

Sounds like a lazy warden, Flipper. You had the tag on, so you were legal (unless the regs specify NOT to do it that way).

Metal stamps on bottom of the baseplate with state issued personal ID number. Unless the critters start packing grinders that ID will always be there. Most thieves are to stupid to know it’s an ID# I do use tags on snares.

I hog ring my tags on the chain between swivels. I also electro pencil my ID # on a flat spot on all traps, jaws or baseplate and right on the side of DP's. Body grips, I remove all chains and replace with cables, I slip tag on the cable then crimp a stop to hold it near trap, then fold tag in half to make smaller.
