Some stalk quietly. Leopards for instance take care to place their hind paws where their forepaws have been, to reduce the changes of snapping a twig or something which might startle the hunted animal before the leopard gets close enough to pounce.
Some other animals build shelters, hide and patiently lie in wait for their prey to come close enough. Trapdoor Spiders for instance do just as the name implies.
Camouflage is a widely spread convergent adaptation. An animal which is less likely to be spotted is more likely to get closer to the prey.
Some animals also instinctively go down wind, so that their scent isn't carried to the prey. Lions for instance try and do this.
