When I hunt, I make sure I am aware of my surroundings and where the prey is based on landmarks (large rocks, trees, roads, etc.) When I take out the prey (rabbits, chickens, boars, deer, etc), I know where the general vicinity is. Even if I have to dispatch nosy zombies in the area, I am able to find the animal based on the landmarks I used. Using landmarks in the wild is as old as time itself.
