What should you do first if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Start walking in what you think is the right direction

  2. Build a fire to signal for help

  3. Stay where you are and make yourself visible

  4. Try calling for help on your cell phone

The correct answer is: Stay where you are and make yourself visible

If you become lost while hunting, the first thing you should do is stay where you are and make yourself visible. This is the correct answer because staying in one place increases the chances of being found by searchers or other hunters. Moving around can make it more difficult for others to locate you. Making yourself visible by using bright clothing, signal fires, or any other means can help rescuers locate you more easily. This approach is recommended in survival situations to increase the likelihood of a successful rescue.
