What is the first thing a hunter should do if they get lost?

  1. Start walking in what they believe is the right direction

  2. Panic and shout for help

  3. Stay put and make themselves visible

  4. Try to catch food

The correct answer is: Stay put and make themselves visible

If a hunter gets lost, the first thing they should do is stay put and make themselves visible. This is the best course of action because moving around when lost can make it harder for search parties to find them. By staying put and making themselves visible, such as by creating a signal fire, or using a whistle or mirror to attract attention, the chances of being located by search and rescue teams are significantly higher. It is important for hunters to prioritize their safety and increasing the likelihood of being found when lost in the wilderness.
