What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

  1. Keep moving and search for an exit.

  2. Stay put and make yourself visible.

  3. Attempt to hunt your way back.

  4. Use your firearm to signal for help every five minutes.

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible.

If you become lost while hunting, it is important to stay put and make yourself visible. This is the safest option as it allows search and rescue teams to locate you more easily. Moving can also make it harder for you to be found and may take you further away from help. Attempting to hunt your way back can also lead you deeper into unfamiliar territory and increase your chances of becoming more lost. Additionally, using your firearm to signal for help every five minutes can be dangerous as it may attract unwanted attention and waste ammunition.
