What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving and find your own way back

  2. Panic and shout for help

  3. Stay put and make yourself visible

  4. Try to call a friend for directions

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you become lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay put and make yourself visible. This is the correct answer because staying in one place increases the likelihood of being found by search and rescue teams. Moving around when lost can make it more difficult for rescuers to locate you. Additionally, making yourself visible by wearing bright colors, building a signal fire, or using a whistle can help attract attention and aid in your rescue. The other options are incorrect because panicking and shouting for help might waste energy and make it harder for rescuers to locate you. Trying to find your own way back could lead you further astray and make the situation worse. Calling a friend for directions might not be helpful as they may not know your exact location or be able to guide you safely back.
