What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving to try to find your way out

  2. Wait for someone to find you

  3. Use a map and compass to try to find your way

  4. Stay in one place and make yourself visible

The correct answer is: Stay in one place and make yourself visible

Getting lost while hunting can be a challenging and potentially dangerous situation. Therefore, the best course of action is to stay in one place and make yourself visible. Moving around can make it difficult for searchers to find you and may lead you deeper into unfamiliar territory. Using a map and compass to find your way may be useful if you are an experienced and skilled navigator, but if you are lost, you may not know which direction to go. Waiting for someone to find you may be an option, but it is not guaranteed and can lead to prolonged exposure to the elements. Staying in one place and making yourself visible increases your chances of being found quickly and safely.
