If there's 25k worth of game amimals or more around there I'd hesitate on using a regular snare, but the collarum might work better, might have to put a stop on it to be sure a deer or whatever is in there could get a hoof out of it.  with a steel trap, try a #2 size, or some 1 3/4 size trap if they have about the same jaw spread.  I like the coilspring type, they are easy to bed.  dig a hole about two inches wide, six or eight deep, at a 45 degree angle with a clump of grass, log  etc for backing at the rear of the hole.  bed your trap about six or eight inches away from the hole slightly to the side.  to bed the trap dig a flat bottomed hole just deep enough to hide the trap and then sift dirt back over it.  a coffee filter works well to cover the pan.  if you can find where this thing is traveling you can make your set there.  good luck, I'm curious to know what this is.
