My first candidate would be roar sound. In any case 100 miles/ 160Km is an impressive distance.
Whales were reported communicating at a distance of 60 miles / 100Km at least and in theory sound could travel 100 miles easily in the water. Howling monkeys roars can be heard at 3 miles (4.8Km), and are seen as the loudest terrestrial mammals but low frequency sounds in Lion roars can be heard at 5 miles.
I would assume that either he was aware previously of the female territory (maybe both tigers were roaring near the frontiers of both territories while wandering); or that both tigers were attracted to the same place by an external factor (plenty of preys born in a place at a given time, or a water source).
How would you know the direction if it could hear it in the water? Did the other tiger roar in the water otherwise I think it might be too damped.
Maybe birds that comes from that direction like sing a tiger song or something? I think birds in the jungle can do that but it is probably really local.
I wouldn’t be surprised if smell played a role in it. With both roaming around their domains, the male tiger maybe picked up a faint trace and could extrapolate her location. The closer he got, the stronger it would become
Its simple, the male tiger bent 2 out of 3 dimensions of space around his need to find his mate, and therin is a truth about much of what is eroniously called "reality"
