Hate to suggest a dire possibility, but is there trapping going on in the area?
That is a possibility.
Provided it is a leghold and not a snare, there could be hope there.
Trappers are required to (though quite a few don't) check traps daily and advise Fish and Game of their traplines. These rules vary from state to state, and I know nothing of CA's trapping laws. You could call F&G and ask if they have any known trappers/traplines in the area, then reach out to the trapper.
That is a longshot, but you miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Been working this morning, but this has been on my mind a lot. I am seriously hoping for a positive outcome.

The Tikka T3 in .308 Winchester is the Glock 19 of the rifle world.
