Where does Rainsford spend his first night of the hunt in "The Most Dangerous Game"?

On the first night that he's being hunted, Rainsford spends the whole night on the run from Zaroff. He rests in a tree at one point, and Zaroff tracks him but never looks up in the tree. This is when Rainsford realizes Zaroff is playing with him, so Rainsford then decides to set some traps. The first trap hurts Zaroff's shoulder, so he goes back to the chalet to get it seen to. At the Death Swamp, Rainsford builds the pit with the stakes and kills a dog. The next trap kills Ivan. At that point, Rainsford has to make the decision to jump off the cliff, and Zaroff goes back home.
