Wes, I found I could pull 3 or four at a time, I would gently pull on them and with my other hand I would push along the base of the feathers I was pulling. 2. I laid a long straight edge on my table and would push the butts against it so I could identify them easier by length (one thing that helped is my table is made of 2" wide boards so I could look at that also) 3. fold all twelve of the tags before you start to package, I folded with a strait edge then pressed on the fold with the back side of a butter knife. Hope this Helps
