Tracking

Tracking is the practice of being able to discern the current location of a moving target, and even follow if over long distances.

In the Hunger Games, because survival is the primary goal and the only way for that to happen would be if Tributes eliminate each other until only the Victor(s) emerge, many Tributes chose to avoid confrontations and distance themselves away from the other competitors.

Advantages and Disadvantages
Skilled trackers are often able to notice traces and evidence of where their designated targets have gone, and where they will be next, after following the trail for some time. However, the tactic itself is not absolute, since Trackers have been known to get lured into Traps and Ambushes after trailing what they thought was unwary prey.
