within a 10 mile radius of the starting point. Even if he DOES start out moving to the west, NOTHING prevents him from doubling back at some point. you have NO way of knowing if he's got (or will find) a vehicle, horse, bicycle, boat, raft, etc. 20 mile diameter circle has 63 mile perimeter, and to ENCIRCLE him, and KEEP him inside the circle, if he's got a silenced .22 rifle, you'd need a man every 50m, at night. 
A 10 mile radius means that the AREA inside of that circle is 314 square miles, each one of them having 640 acres. One man can't search more than 20 acres of woods a day(and hope to find a prone man,rifle armed, using brush and a depression as concealment) So, in order to search 640 acres, before the guy moves ON (the next night) you'd need 30 buddies x 314 means you'd need 10,000 men, and you wont have TEN, come shtf.
You aint gonna chase ANYBODY, or find anybody, beyond some idiot kid, unarmed, post shtf. All you'll do is get shot, abandon your family to WORSE depradation while you are gone. Maybe YOU are that stupid, but nobody else in your area will be. So you'll be chasing that guy ALONE. he's going to set an ambush on his back trail, after turning 90 degrees, or doubling back on his trail, and THERE you come, following his trail, like the idiot that you are. post shtf, stupidity like that is going to be 100% fatal.
