The basic way tracking by scent works is that it detects lingering smells left behind. It's dependent on the target producing scents over the portion of the path you are attempting to follow. if something only intermittently produces scent, or only intermittently does so at a magnitude you can detect, tracking only works over that portion of its path where it produces the scent you can detect.
