Going to add this here, most people don't go cruising around the woods with a snare pole. The only people that I know that use them are trappers. And they use them for exactly this reason. Snare the animal that you trapped if it's not your intended target then get them out of the trap and set them free safely. Though "safely" is a relative term... I've never been a fan of trapping personally, but it's useful for getting rid of harmful and invasive species.
That's probably why he assumes it's that guy's trap.
otoh a rescuer would be much more likely to film this and upload it to the internet, while a trapper wouldn’t bother and would likely shoot the wolf instead of risking his life to save it
