It may be what you're looking for, though, as it would function similar to what you're talking about, it's in the skills under survival on counter tracking.

I think it might have been something like "as a ranger tracks 2 levels lower" or something, and there were the same modifiers for rate of speed, number and size of creatures, etc. That suggests to me that a ranger or character with the tracker skill might be in 3.5 "allowed" to do such a thing as an "opposed roll" sort of thing, same as say spot vs slight of hand or move silently vs listen. Any such thing would of course, be a houserule of some kind, and I'm probably overlooking something very flawed in my thinking, or something already exists that I'm simply not thinking of. Neue
