Making a Paiute Deadfall

1. Gather and whittle Paiute dead-
   fall sticks: (from top to bottom)
   the diagonal stick, the catch
   stick, the upright stick, and the
   bait stick.


2. To set up a Paiute deadfall, bait
   the stick, then set up the trap as
   shown. The diagonal stick holds
   the weight of the rock.


3. Here is the Paiute deadfall from another angle. If an animal disturbs the bait stick,
   the catch stick will release. The diagonal stick will fly up, the rock will fall, and dinner
   will be served.
