What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving at all times

  2. Panic and shout for help

  3. Stay in one place and signal for help

  4. Try to find your way by wandering

The correct answer is: Stay in one place and signal for help

If you become lost while hunting, the best course of action is to stay in one place and signal for help (option C). By staying put, you increase the chances of search and rescue teams locating you. Moving around when lost can make it more difficult for rescuers to find you. Panicking and shouting for help (option B) can also be counterproductive as it can lead to exhaustion and make it harder for others to hear you. Trying to find your way by wandering (option D) can potentially lead you farther away from safety and increase the likelihood of getting more lost. It is essential to stay calm, stay in one place, and make yourself visible to increase your chances of being found.
