A dye-loaded shell was constructed to eliminate the nuisance of field- loading the chamber, but this has not been perfected at the time of writing Field Use of One Time Marker For trail setting, a two by three inch post is driven into the ground about three feet from the deer trail. For California mule deer, the barrel should be about 25 inches above the ground level of the trail. The marker should be affixed to the post without the firing pin in place. Black nylon thread is run from the rat trap treadle across the trail and tied to a stake or brush. The thread should be about ten inches above the trail, so that the deer must hit it with its fore-legs. Properly set, passing deer should be marked on the shoulder despite the direc- tion of travel. The rat trap is then set and the nail firing pin inserted. A safety set trap is preferable in order to lessen chances of accidental discharge. Best results were obtained from a "line" of about twenty markers. The markers were checked each day that the deer were in the area, and less frequently when deer activity decreased. If the terrain allows the use of a vehicle, a "line" of a greater number of ma
