So a harvest tag? For say bags of mussels or clams?

Crabs

Oh, my ex must have gone swimming

And not the Dungeness kind, correct?

Correct

They may not be Alaskan kings, but they sure feel huge.

Unexpected r/aquajail ! But it doesn't matter. None of this matters.

That’s what she said

Lmao

Exactly this. Harvest tag likely off a crab pot off crab boat MV Hecate. Here's a list of lost equipment listing equipment from the same boat (see matching permit number). https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations_091316.pdf

More of his crab pots found: https://www.dfw.state.or.us/MRP/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2018/RecoveredDerelictGearRegistrations_09102018.pdf Someone tell the captain: https://www.boatinfoworld.com/registration.asp?vn=298838

Holy cow! That 17-18 season was brutal!

"Husker" doesn't seem to have any idea what they are doing out there. It looks like everybody else has to pick up their derelict pots.

Even King Caspian needs harvest tags.

And Crispin’s Crispian.

'Tis an older meme, but it doth check out.

This one’s from Narnia.

Nice

That's the name of the ship it was assigned to.

Ya... from Narnia

Voyage of the *Dawn Treader* is one of the Chronicles of Narnia, the ship is the Dawn Treader.

Goddamn Oregonians from 10 years ago trashing up our beach

This is why I love Reddit. It is like one big collective mind. We are powerful when we work as one. Nice job with the explanation and descriptions

It's a buoy tag from Oregon. You had to put a tag like this on a commercial crab pot. This specifically was from the Hecate. [https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations\_091316.pdf](https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations_091316.pdf)

Fish and wildlife tag

Hecate, the goddess of borders and dark magic. You might want to go to a crossroads at midnight and return it to her.

Hecate's luggage tag. You might want to return it to her. /s

She’s traveling on the Dawn Treader, so you might find Hectate in Narnia.

What’s she gonna do- hex me?

Livestock ear tag?? Number and hole make me wonder if this is an ear tag….

Yes, odfw is Oregon fish&livestock .

And there you go! [https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations\_091316.pdf](https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations_091316.pdf) Vessel name (Hecate) and Permit number (96108) match up. A buoy tag, rather than ear tag, but same idea.

Wildlife.

Edit previous, ODFW = Oregon dept of Fish & Wildlife.

Crap pot buoy tag.

Jeez, the govment tracking our poop now?

What are you talking about? Crab pots are traps put in the water to catch crabs. One of those is placed on the buoy for the pot to show it is registered with the state.

(“crap pots” per your first response) Sorry, I couldn’t resist.

For an elephant? What livestock do you know has ears this big? You don't know anything about livestock, do you?

ODFW = Oregon Dept of Fish and Wildlife. It’s a crab pot tag from a vessel named Hecate from 2013 to 2014, likely lost on the bottom when the rope broke and eventually the little zip-tie holding the tag on broke and the tag floated to shore.

Did anyone else think of the ending to the movie Identity when they saw this?

Thought the ending was in a field or flatlands? Its been a while since i saw that though

Probably something off a boeing

Me living in the North West Ohio was about to say cattle/goat tags

I suspect it's from hecate strait northern British Columbia canada

Buoy tag from a crab pot. [https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations\_091316.pdf](https://www.dfw.state.or.us/mrp/shellfish/commercial/crab/docs/2016/PostedRegistrations_091316.pdf)

Almost said a cow tag, and then I realized you were at the beach lol.

Haha same.

Probably from a crab pot

Wait this ain’t half an old hotel key?

Cow ear tag .. or some sorta livestock

Old.

Odfw is oregon dept of fish & wildlife. They'll want it back.

Commercial Crab Pot tag, I used to be in the business

Someone forgot their French AMR's identification (/s)

Crab pot tag? CA uses a very similar looking tag for commercial crab pots.

HAHAHAHAHA!

I honestly had no idea that the goddess of magic and witchcraft was from Davis California. Guess it makes sense.

Sir, that belongs to Asada Shino or as some call her Sinon.

Maybe related? https://www.latitude38.com/lectronic/from-bad-to-worse-for-boat-at-linda-mar/

Crescent City?

Where in Ca? That’s a zip code for Modoc county

Now the job of searching down the cow on the beach begins!

It’s called “North Carolina,” it’s a state. Please tell me about this “Northern Carolina” you speak of.

This is an Oregon Department of Fish and wildlife tag likely for commercial crab fishing. Numbers correlate to Pot number, year, and regional info etc.

Fish and Wildlife tag!! 9 is a number associated with witchcraft and Hecate is also an associated goddess… sell it to a Hellenic pagan if you don’t need to report the tag 😉

crab trap tag

here I thought it was a hotel keychain

Its a wildlife tag. The Hecate Strait is the body of water between Haida Gwaii and Mainland British Columbia.

I remember when Hecate didn’t need tags to harvest.

Who named there kid Hecate? I gotta meet em

Standard HELLGATE key card .... first glance that was my assumption

Anyone else think of Kramer catching lobster ?

That's cool! you keeping it?

That's cool that an Oregon tag made it down there.

96108 is fletcher creek ca near Modoc. This area is right at the junction where California meets Oregon. Way north. And I agree it looks like a cattle ear tag.

And I thought it was a bondo applicator for auto body work

Looks like a toe tag that a serial killer would use

Thought that was the triangle thing from a ouija board.

Hecate is an Egyptian/Greek goddess of magic. Maybe she's just on a sabbatical???

It's a toe tag from a dead bod

Prisoners ear tag

Hecate, Prisoner of Poseidon

Belongs to some witch.

This is an underrated comment and will be missed by most people.

Ear tag for a wolf! Hecate likes to maintain a tight pack.
