This is a snare technique commonly used for rabbits. The trap is to be placed over tracks(or also called a "rabbit-runway") and since rabbits have immensely bad tunnel vision, you build walls that go in like a funnel. The walls cause the rabbit to panic and run faster and this limits the chance of it noticing the snare, and also raises the chances of it being killed right away.
The snare loop should be about the size of a small fist in diameter and about half an inch off the ground.

Dead-Fall Trap
This is called a "dead-fall trap." It is constructed primarally using the natural things around you; consisting of a rock, branches, string, and bait. While they can be built to work on their own, it is normally used more commonly by setting off the trap by hand with string. All you do is connect the string to the branch seen above, and when an animal goes to take the bait, you pull the string and set off the trap. However, the downfall of this is that while you are in the area, the prey might catch you scent and avoid the area.
How the one in the picture works is when the prey pulls on the bait, it pulls out the branch holding the rock and the rock falls. This limits the chance of the prey catching your smell or sound.
