What should you do if you become lost while hunting?

Keep moving and try to find your way out
Stay put and make yourself visible
Continue hunting until someone finds you
Start a fire for a smoke signal

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

Staying put and making yourself visible when lost while hunting is the best course of action. By remaining in one location, you avoid the risk of wandering further away and potentially complicating search and rescue efforts. Staying visible increases your chances of being found by other hunters, search teams, or rescuers who may be looking for you. If you make noise or use bright-colored clothing, you can attract attention, helping others to locate you more easily. Continuing to move can lead you deeper into unfamiliar territory, which can increase the chances of injury or disorientation. While signaling for help, such as by starting a fire, can be useful in an emergency situation, creating a signal should not replace the priority of staying in one place.
