Release stick
Bait stick Upright stick^
Bait is set on the bait stick first. The sticks are then placed together in the shape of the number
four, with the weight leaning against the (release) top stick. When the animal begins to nibble
on the bait, the trap releases, crushing the animal.
Doug’s deadfall: This is similar to the figurefour deadfall. To build this
trap you need three sticks of varying length (two short ones and one
longer one) and a heavy crushing object such as a flat stone.
Doug’s deadfall uses components similar to those of the figurefour deadfall: two upright
sticks and a bait stick.
