in the early 1700's, in the wilds of what would become the central United States of America, fur trappers made their living. After setting a trap, they would take a previously trapped animal hide, and drag it where they walked to erase the fact they were in the vicinity. They called this a spread sheet, used to cover the tracks and scent.
