Explanation:

This is what Rainsford does when his "mancatcher" fails. In this story, Rainsford is trying to escape from General Zaroff. The General has informed Rainsford of his wish to "hunt" him. However, he has said that if Rainsford is able to avoid capture for three days, then he will let him be free. One of the plans that Rainsford develops is a "mancatcher." However, when this plan fails, he decides to carefully retrace his steps to hide his tracks and avoid being found by Zaroff.
