Probably best to have more than one choke point though., perhaps one per region tile per edge, and then make them a few traps deep.

Choke points are definitely where you chould put your traps. A chokepoint can be perfectly natural (i.e. not dwarf-made), like a pond/lake, cliff if you have any, passage in a cluster of trees ...
It's usually very efficient to place the traps along the shores of ponds. Do it well, and you will be able to catch creatures moving from two directions (like North/South and North East/South West). While wildlife movement is somewhat erratic, animals do tend to walk along the shores.
Obiously, that's not true for amphibians and fliers. For those, it's just a matter of luck.

[Tubi2b]

if youve got mountaints or a river or something splitting the map in half, make a canyon or ravine and put some cage traps in there. then anything passing through will get caught...

.... or just look at where groups of things gather and place them there (they seem to go to the same general areas)
