What should you do if you get lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving and look for help

  2. Use a map and compass to find your way back

  3. Stay put and make yourself visible

  4. Continue hunting until someone finds you

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you get lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible, which is the correct answer. By doing so, you make it easier for search and rescue teams to locate you. Moving around when lost can make it harder for rescuers to find you and can also increase the chances of getting even more lost. Using a map and compass is a good practice to prevent getting lost in the first place, but once you are lost, it's essential to stay in one place. Continuing hunting is not advisable as it can make you stray further from where you initially got lost.
