I'd concurrently maintained an updated orchard map on paper or in the
computer.
Interesting. My deer are more fastidious. They eat twigs and apples, but haven't yet bothered a tag.
I found the ones I bought: alumboss, still sold by AM Leonard, which seems to have two different on-line sites, one with wider selection than the other. But they are expensive, currently about $50 for '2 pounds', which is what I bought. I estimate it at about 500 tags and the box will probably last the rest of my life. So I'm happy with the purchase. (perhaps it was cheaper 10 (years ago?)
I did write up a text file of what's where at the same time I labeled the trees. That will live on my computer.
