I'm no ranger but am not half bad at tracking when I'm out hunting. It's a Wisdom check modified by prof bonus if you have Survival. That's it.
God I hope not. I dislike that sort of hard-coded role-playing rule.
My concern is that DMs, particularly novice DMs, will not allow those activities if the character lacks those specific class features. I call it the Tarkin Effect, where the more the rules define, the more they squeeze out creative interaction with the game.
